enum X
{
    yes,
    no
}

void main()
{
    auto x = X.Yes;
}

test.d(11): Error: no property 'Yes' for type 'int'

There are two things that could be improved. One is to change the error message to:

test.d(11): Error: no property 'Yes' for type 'X'

This is the error you get when accessing fields that don't exist in a struct. We could also make this say "enum" instead of "type.

The second enhancement would be to implement the 'spelling correction' which we already have in some places. So the error message (in this case) would be:

test.d(14): Error: no property 'Yes' for type 'X', did you mean property 'yes'?
