It would be very cool if we could do
test(A) instead of test(myEnum.A).
by context, the compiler can look first in the scope for something named
A then look in the enum itself and prepend myEnum internally.
Swift has this feature (the enum member needs to be prefix with a dot).
This has been brought up before and Walter doesn't like it. It will
complicate the language, especially function overloading:
enum Foo { A }
enum Bar { A }
void foo(Foo);
void foo(Bar);
foo(A); // ambiguity
