Hello !
I'm not sure if I'm missing something here but for a tagged enum it
doesn't seem to make sense to forbid reserved keywords like:
enum CrudOps {read, write, delete}
The dmd compiler are complaining:
------
cte.d(4): Error: basic type expected, not delete
cte.d(4): Error: no identifier for declarator int
cte.d(4): Error: type only allowed if anonymous enum and no enum type
cte.d(4): Error: if type, there must be an initializer
cte.d(4): Error: found 'delete' when expecting ','
------
It doesn't make sense to me because this kind of enum will not polute
the global space and always need to beused with the tag: CrudOps.delete
I'm missing something here ?
Cheers !

characters will unambiguously be either a keyword or an identifier,
