With a union it's ok, see the sugestion here

https://forum.dlang.org/post/kmqmqxskccaceurutgzq@forum.dlang.org

members are not part of the aggregate. The size is then just 
equal to the common type, used as variable to make bit op like 
with a regular enum.

I mean that the OP is asking for a really minor feature while he 
could solve the problem himself, in case he really needs it.
