           Summary: Improve error message on access to non-existent enum
                    field

          Priority: P2

enum X
{
    yes,
    no
}

void main()
{
    auto x = X.Yes;
}

test.d(11): Error: no property 'Yes' for type 'int'

There are two things that could be improved. One is to change the error message
to:

test.d(11): Error: no property 'Yes' for type 'X'

This is the error you get when accessing fields that don't exist in a struct.
We could also make this say "enum" instead of "type.

The second enhancement would be to implement the 'spelling correction' which we
already have in some places. So the error message (in this case) would be:

test.d(14): Error: no property 'Yes' for type 'X', did you mean property 'yes'?
