enums don't have to be integral, but for performance reasons it is for the best.

enum Foo : string {

void main() {

Also you are welcome in #d on Freenode (IRC) if you are interesting in talking with the rest of us! Btw you probably want tuples (std.typecons : tuple) to emulate those values.

Oh interesting. So you are saying I could have a struct WhiteKey {...} and then an enum that extends WhiteKey? You also mention Tuples, are you recommending the Tuple's type be (WhiteKey, int)? Thanks!
