And, several times this argument has been rebuffed:

The reason people do this in D is usually under duress because of 
problems using "const".  It wasn't done because it was a preferred way 
nor because "enum" was something that clearly indicated its purpose.

Laying claim to this argument as a reasonable promotion of "enum" is not 
the best approach to proving to the D group that "enum" was an optimal 
choice.

Like I said, it will work. But you probably already know that it will be 
accepted quite begrudgingly.

Just wanted to point that out again. :)
