--- Comment #3 from Bolpat <[email protected]> --- (In reply to mhh from comment #2) > What would a static foreach inside an enum (without use of mixin) be able to > express? You can generate members based off of other members. It’s very similar to `static foreach` generating `case` labels in a `switch` statement. Note that you excluding mixin proves my point, that is a use case. A relevant observation is that how well string mixins can be understood correlates strongly with their length: A simple, single declaration string mixin inside a `static foreach` is vastly preferable to a string mixin creating the enum and its members in one go. As another example, conditional compilation using `static if` can make members (un)available depending on compile-time information. There’s lots of potential examples where one would like that. An enum member can specify certain actions, some of which might not be available on e.g. certain architectures. --
