I'm certainly not going to argue against trying to make std.conv.to faster,
but what on earth are you doing that you have an enum with hundreds of
members? I would have thought that an enum that had anywhere near fifty
members was enormous, let alone hundreds. I'm not sure that I've ever dealt
with an enum that had more than maybe a couple dozen members.
