Walter, better ergonomics is one of the reason why people look

Make them pick D, or at least make them consider D


Nobody wants to write: `cClass: Character.Class.KNIGHT` or 
`elements: Character.Elements.EARTH | Character.Elements.FIRE`

Make us able to write:

`cClass: .KNIGHT` and `elements: .EARTH | .FIRE`

Named arguments was a great addition, let's continue in that 
direction


DMD is full of short named enums, we both know why ;)
