About the general usefulness of

enum SomeOption { no, yes }

I suggest we ask the newsgroup. Phobos uses it a fair amount and I 
haven't heard complaints. I think the basic idiom is a net improvement 
over bool, but I agree that AutoStart.yes is a bit redundant. But then 
the solution would be to define a constant like AutoStart and then a 
constant like NoAutoStart. We're back to square one.

At any rate, please no all-caps constants :o).
