A little Problem translating a header file.

ok, so I've been working on ncurses.
It's pretty much complete, but one of the things that I think needs to
be worked on is the ACS vars.

The header file uses this:

extern NCURSES_EXPORT_VAR(chtype) acs_map[];

#define NCURSES_ACS(c)  (acs_map[NCURSES_CAST(unsigned char,c)])

/* VT100 symbols begin here */
#define ACS_ULCORNER    NCURSES_ACS('l') /* upper left corner */
#define ACS_LLCORNER    NCURSES_ACS('m') /* lower left corner */
#define ACS_URCORNER    NCURSES_ACS('k') /* upper right corner */
#define ACS_LRCORNER    NCURSES_ACS('j') /* lower right corner */

this way, you can simply type in, for example: addch(ACS_ULCORNER);
and it will print the appropriate character to the screen.

However, i've been struggling to come up with a way to allow this in
the D bindings.

The best that has been come up with (by Jon) is:
immutable enum ACS
{
    /* VT100 symbols begin here */
    ULCORNER      = 'l',
    LLCORNER      = 'm',
    URCORNER      = 'k',

to use it you have to type: addch(acs_map[ACS.ULCORNER]);


Is there an easy way to do this that I have been missing?
Preferably something that can be done at compile time, rather than
having to call a function manually?
