Little box:

Time ago I have heard that "enum" is useless and const/immutable suffice. So if 
"enum" gets removed from D how do you tell apart the desire to run a function (not a 
global call) at compile time from the desire to run it at run time and assign its result to a 
run-time constant value?

int bar(int x) {
     return x;
}
void main() {
     enum b1 = bar(10); // runs at compile-time
     const b2 = bar(20); // doesn't run at compile-time
}

-----------------]

static b1 = bar(20);
