I think that it would be good if the docs could mention with which compiler version a feature was added.

It does in the changelog.

Not for .stringof it doesn't :)

By the way, it would be nice if .stringof for an enum member would return the actual enum stringized. Will this be possible?

Note that Kevin Bealer has made two versions of a template for 'reflective enums'.

I don't find the result totally satisfying as you loose the type safety in current version, but it's a good start.
