Yeah,

enum E { A = 1, B = 2 }

is the same as:

struct E { immutable A = 1, B = 2; }

(leaving storage aside)

Which for me it doesn't make any sense. Even thinking about the argument
(you should have a big gain to introduce syntax sugar).

enums should be enums, flags should be flags, and manifest constants
should be... well, you got the idea.

enum is to D what const is to C++ :P
