          Issue ID: 21178
           Summary: It is not explained what is "unknown"
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All

https://dlang.org/spec/enum.html

"An empty enum body (For example enum E;) signifies an opaque enum - the enum
members are unknown."

The specification is very unclear here:

What this "unknown" does mean? How does "unknown" differ from "none" in this
context?

The specification does not define the meaning of unknown. Formal specifications
should not use a word with no clear meaning.
