2. The example from p.69 [TDPL]. It seems to be missing a colon

I hope someone can clear up what is and isn't a valid enum.
I haven't looked at this in TPL but the above is a manifest constant.
Which basically has nothing to do with enums. It's a way to declare a
constant that doesn't have any storage and which address cannot be
taken. Basically the same as "#define foo 0" in C.
don't know what you mean. since they are defined with the enum keyword they
have everything to do with enum, especially the official syntax presented here:
http://dlang.org/enum.html
enum keyword covers both, enumeration constants and manifest constants. the
specs cover both in one. moreover, they explain that manifest constants are
only syntactic sugar for anonymous enums:
enum { A = 2, B = 4 }
is the same as
enum A = 2;
enum B = 4;
