# DIPX: Enum Literals / Implicit Selector Expression
I watched DConf and the idea was suggested, there wasn't any
disagreements or negative comments about it, so i figured it's
time to start to work on the DIP!
That's a feature i long desired, and i'm pretty envious of the
languages that have it implemented, to name a few: Zig/Odin/Jai
``with`` is often mentioned as a way to do something similar, but
it is not the same as just calling the enum.. plus it pollutes
the scope and introduce issues such as symbol/name clashes, this
is not what we want
Of course the DIP is not complete, it's a start, let's discuss
about it, let's improve the DIP and let's find solutions how it
could be implemented if we all agree that it would be a nice
addition to the language!
