I don't agree that is an enhancement.
https://dlang.org/spec/enum.html#manifest_constants: "If there is only one
member of an anonymous enum, the { } can be omitted. Gramatically speaking,
this is an AutoDeclaration."
That is, the following two are supposed to be consistent, but only the former
compiles:
enum Dependency[] dependencies = [
{ name: "foo" }
];
enum {
Dependency[] dependencies = [
{ name: "foo" }
]
}
Why are enum members initialized with AssignExpression instead of Initializer?
If there is no reason other than historical, it is a bug.
