I've been thinking about this and I don't think that this is true.

Add two new core.attributes udas.

``enum near;`` and ``enum far;``

If we need segment support ``enum uda(string segment:"FS");`` would suffice.

Require it on all variable declarations, easy! Oh and don't forget to do 
matching of argument/expression validation to declaration for @safe code.
