enum sstring problem

[Lloyd Dupont]

do you have DMD 2.053 on Windows?
Your code fail for me with:
====
main.d(10): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "hello"
main.d(11): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "betty"
main.d(10): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "hello"
main.d(11): Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of "betty"

It works just fine for me.

How I test:

import std.stdio;
enum AA : string
{
    A = "hello",
    B = "betty",
}
void main(){
    writeln(AA.A);
    writeln(AA.B);
}

Compiles and runs.
