Not as nice, but gets the job done. But adding a new aggregate
type comes with a lot of baggage. I'm not convinced the
complexity is worth the benefit, which seems minor.
With a union it's ok, see the sugestion here
https://forum.dlang.org/post/kmqmqxskccaceurut...@forum.dlang.org
members are not part of the aggregate. The size is then just
equal to the common type, used as variable to make bit op like
with a regular enum.
I mean that the OP is asking for a really minor feature while he
could solve the problem himself, in case he really needs it.
