As far as I known, when I define a string with enum and it is

and again in executable file instead of passing a pointer to 
string. So, using enum with string doesn't seem like a good 
idea.

String literals are merged by the compiler, much like in C and 
Java.

import std.stdio;
enum mystring = "hello world!";

void main() {
        string str1 = mystring;
        string str2 = mystring;
        
        writeln(str1.ptr == str2.ptr); // prints true
}
