In general, the raylib enumerations are overly verbose for D,

In Derelict, I exclusively used anonymous enums with an alias to
the base type like Guillaume noted above. When I did bindbc-sdl,
I decided to go with named enums + the template I pasted
above---I put the mixin at the bottom of each enum declaration.
Though I do use anonymous enums now for any that are intended to
be used as bit flags.
The mixin approach allows you to keep the stronger typing of
named enums and still maintain one-to-one compatibility with the
with the C source if both are important to you. I'm ambivalent
about it now.
