This is not supposed to work actually, so changed the importance to enhancement.

By [1] the construct exepected here is

```ebnf
Type Identifier "=" AssignExpression
```

while struct initializer is part of another rule, i.e Initializer ([2])

The enhancement would be to have

```ebnf
Type Identifier "=" Initializer
```

I don't agree that is an enhancement.

https://dlang.org/spec/enum.html#manifest_constants: "If there is only one member of an anonymous enum, the { } can be omitted. Gramatically speaking, this is an AutoDeclaration."

That is, the following two are supposed to be consistent, but only the former compiles:

enum Dependency[] dependencies = [
        { name: "foo" }
    ];

enum {
    Dependency[] dependencies = [
        { name: "foo" }
    ]
}


Why are enum members initialized with AssignExpression instead of Initializer? If there is no reason other than historical, it is a bug.

yeah you're right, there's is a fog here. I missed the point when following strictly the grammar and ignoring the desciption.

restored to a normal bug ;)
