It's
still
a hack, but I'll agree it makes the encapsulation a little better
if you use yes!"abc" at the function call point.
However, I still think it's a deterioration from the user's point of
view compared to the current situation with hand-crafted enums: it still
requires a string, and the documentation will say func(Flag!"abc" abc),
repeating the parameter's name unless you hand-craft a special Ddoc
version of the function declaration. It's better than Flag!"abc".yes,
but it's worse than Abc.yes.
But the problem is the same today.
enum Abc : bool { no, yes }
void fun(Abc abc = Abc.no);
No difference. In the function declaration, the word "abc" occurs three times.
I actually didn't meant to post the above. I wrote it, then thought I
should sleep on it before deciding whether I'd post it or not since I
was a little to tired. Then I hit a bad key combo and the message
reached the server before I could unplug my network cable. I'm not
surprised you could find some inconsistencies in it.
