Sounds like most of us should be in D Learn on this topic.

I should find the time to write up a case for Andrei's suggestion. I have no problem with the compiler telling me that my code is ambiguous, in fact I depend on it!

The "problem" with this approach though, is that if you import my module, and I introduce a new enum in my module, I could *break* your code by introducing ambiguity.

Not that it's any different from adding functions in modules, that could create ambiguity of course. That said, functions have a "tendency" of not actually being ambiguous thanks to the fact that they overload on their arguments. enums on the other hand, have *no* contextual information to disambiguate.
