I agree that enum is a horrible keyword to use for declaring manifest 
constants. In my opinion the D developers are sometimes a bit too afraid 
of introducing new keywords, and this is one of the consequences.

Personally, I think this would be a better scheme:

     const: manifest constants, no storage (like const in D1, enum in D2)
  readonly: used for a read-only view of mutable data (like const in D2)
immutable: truly immutable data (like now)
