Here is a fragment of Java code from an SWT program...

     DASHDOTDOT("Dash Dot Dot");

     public final String label;

     private LineStyle(String label) {
         this.label = label;
     }
}

What would be the best ('canonical') way of translating it to D?

enum LineStyle : string {
   NONE = "None",
   SOLID = "Solid",
   ... // etc
}

Used like this:

funcThatTakesString(LineStyle.NONE);

LineStyle ls = LineStyle.SOLID;

funcThatTakesLineStyle(ls);

I'm not a Java programmer, and my time with Java was before enums. But 
this is how I would do it.
