About nesting in general I've replied to ryuukk_ at 
https://forum.dlang.org/post/gjhvbrehodkabzvewopx@forum.dlang.org

In this example there's little difference, between having to type 
(or not) either `Entity.Kind` or `EntityKind`. It's indeed a good 
example how nesting without private data is a purely stylistic 
namespacing choice. (So imo no one forces you to use it to an 
extent that requires you to type too much or otherwise makes your 
life difficult.)
