Note that it's not just the type but with parenthesis after it.
For example, Foo() default-constructs an object of Foo.
Got it.

There is std.traits.EnumMembers:
import std.traits;
enum Foo { abc, xyz }
void main() {
foreach (foo; EnumMembers!Foo) {
// ...
}
}
Excellent. Because all of the keys are immutable strings and are
known at compile time, enum seems like it should be well suited
for the job. I will try this too.
On a side note: I am working my way through your book, Ali. It
really is very helpful for learning D, and for pointing out
things that are not always clear from reading the documentation
alone. I will admit, however, that I am not able to absorb all of
the more subtle aspects yet. So this is an iterative process
(read some, write code, re-read and read some more, write code,
...)
Thank you for your help.
