I think it is understood and he was referring to renaming the enum members, for which you have to write different code when using them in D anyway:

In C:
STATUS_SUCCESS

In D unmodified:
cairo_status_t.STATUS_SUCCESS

In D with cosmetic changes:
cairo_status_t.SUCCESS

It doesn't change the semantics or add code. It could just as well be a Deimos coding standard.
