Enums with integer properties (++, --) would be nice. I sometimes like to mix integers and enums together. For example I may use the last 8 places for a byte storage and the first part for enable/disable bit flags. Although now D has bits included, it's still useful in things such as file saving. ++, -- and any other integer maths would be useful on enums, although I suppose it's possible to cast an enum to a int.

Also how about a specific structure or extention to enums for enable disable bits. I know that D's bits data type goses some way, but it doesn't provide a labling system enable/disable bits. And before you point it out, you could use:

enum EnableBit //You may reconise this from GL (Although it's missing a few)
{
    ALPHA_TEST = 1,
    AUTO_NORMAL = 2,
    BLEND = 4,
    COLOR_MATERIAL = 8,
    CULL_FACE = 16,
    DEPTH_TEST = 32,
    DITHER = 64,
    FOG = 128,
    LIGHTING =256,
    LINE_SMOOTH = 1024,
    LINE_STIPPLE = 2048,
    LOGIC_OP = 4096,
    NORMALIZE = 8192,
    POINT_SMOOTH = 16384,
    POLYGON_SMOOTH = 32768,
    POLYGON_STIPPLE = 65536,
    SCISSOR_TEST = 131072,
    STENCIL_TEST = 262144,
    TEXTURE_1D = 524288,
    TEXTURE_2D = 1048576
};
