module main;

enum MyEnum { first, second, third }

MyEnum next(MyEnum myenum)
{
    return cast(MyEnum) (myenum + 1);
}

void main()
{
    auto myenum = MyEnum.second;
    auto ptrEnum = &myenum;

    auto maxEnum      =   ptrEnum.max;     // #0: OK
    auto nextExplicit = (*ptrEnum).next(); // #1: OK
    auto nextImplicit =   ptrEnum.next();  // #2
}

#2: Error: function main.next (MyEnum myenum) is not callable using argument
types (MyEnum*)

#2: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (ptrEnum) of type MyEnum* to
MyEnum

I think this is deliberate and it's unrelated to enums:

int ufcs(int i) { return 0; }
void main()
{
    auto i = 0;
    auto ptrInt = &i;
    auto a = ptrInt.ufcs();  // error
}

Same with structs.

There was a similar issue opened where someone made a rationale, it was about not wanting to accidentally pass structs by value, or something like that. I'll wait for someone to give a better response.

Currently automatic pointer dereference is not supported in UFCS name look up. So this is an enhancement request.
