I'm going for the second one, due mostly to the fact that if I'm going to change the enum to fit in with D, I might make it fit in with D style-wise. The difference in style should help to make it obvious to spot.

Also, most functions would get covered by a wrapper, but there is little use to wrapping enums, so it is worthwhile making it nice to work with in "normal" D code.
