Hi there,

I need enumerations with string[] as base type. It works when I use

enum MyEnum : string[] {
 a = ["a", "b", "c"],
}

but when I add more types like

enum MyEnum : string[] {
 a = ["a", "b", "c"],
 b = ["d", "e", "f"],
 c = ["g", "h", "i"], // ...
}

I always get the following error(s):

Error: Integer constant expression expected instead of ["a", "b",
"c"] < ["a", "b", "c"]

Is there any solution in D to realize to add more than one string[]-
array to an enumeration?

Thanks!

There's a way to partially simulate an enum with a struct and some
typedef magic: http://codepad.org/RNYyyFqc

So it kind of acts like an enum. But it's just a workaround, there
might be performance issues + switches don't work for structs. It was
just an experiment though.
