I'm against this DIP because...

1) using new symbols $(or any other unused symbol) for a minor 
feature is wasteful, compared to adding new meta/codegen features 
etc.

2) Implicit 'with' for switch statements as proposed by Walter is 
more elegant and doesn't require any new symbols/syntax and is 
also more efficient from a compiler performance perspective as $ 
could refer to any enum, whereas the implicit 'with' only adds 
one enum.

I propose changing the DIP to "implicit with".
