Is there any way in D to define static methods or members

sometimes help with code organization. For example, this is 
something that coming from Java I'd have expected to be valid 
but isn't:

enum SomeEnum{
    NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST;

    static int examplestaticmethod(in int x){
        return x + 2;
    }
}

int z = SomeEnum.examplestaticmethod(2);

Java's enums are classes, which is why that works. Nothing in 
Java can exist outside of a class. D's enums are like those in C. 
They do not define objects, just constant values.
