Funny thing is, because C enums being unqualified and not 
strongly typed was considered a problem, C got into the habit of 
repeating every enum's type name in every of its values e.g.

     enum IMG_INIT { IMG_INIT_jpg, IMG_INIT_png }

P.S. of course it doesn't work for that. But interoperating with 
C isn't the problem here, because C enums don't map to D enums 
but to integers?
