However, I still think it's a deterioration from the user's point of view compared to the current situation with hand-crafted enums: it still requires a string, and the documentation will say func(Flag!"abc" abc), repeating the parameter's name unless you hand-craft a special Ddoc version of the function declaration. It's better than Flag!"abc".yes, but it's worse than Abc.yes.But the problem is the same today. enum Abc : bool { no, yes } void fun(Abc abc = Abc.no); No difference. In the function declaration, the word "abc" occurs three times.Which makes Flag even less of an improvement.
I'm not sure I figure the reasoning. You can't penalize twice for the same reason. This makes the existing situation less desirable, not Flag less of an improvement over it.
