...Or just rename enum

I'd want to keep the ability to make new types. I grant you that D's
enums aren't proper enums, but they still let me pretend that they
are:

    enum MyType { /*...*/ }

    MyType x;

My preference would be leave enums as-is, although perhaps it would be
nice to forbid overlapping values (e.g. enum { x=3, y=3 }), and also
to forbid enums which have fewer than two entries (thereby forcing
people /not/ to use them for manifest constants).

...and to come up with a different syntax for manifest constants.

If Walter doesn't like final, alias, macro, define or let, how about "manifest"?
