The cause of the problem here is that you are trying to use enums for a different purpose, as composable flags. In C# enums and flags are not the same thing, you can use the [Flags] attribute: http://www.codeguru.com/vb/sample_chapter/article.php/c12963 The ridiculous thing of D development is that no one ever takes a look at C#, it often already contains a solution to problems we are just starting to find in D (or often that we just refuse to see in D). As they say: "Those who cannot learn from C# are doomed to re-invent it, often badly." (In D you can solve this problem creating a flags struct, using a strategy similar to the one used by std.bitmanip.bitfields, but it feels hackish). Bye, bearophile
