digitalmars.D.announce - getting the string representing the enum value

say I have an enum

	enum X
	{
	 A,
	 B,
	 C
	}

and I have

	void someFunc( X e )
	{
	 //.. some code
	}

I want to print the value of 'e' but I don't want to get a number!! I 
want to get a string that represents it. i.e. A or B or C


	void someFunc( X e )
	{
	   toString(e);
	   e.string;
	   e.value;
	   //or something like that ..
	}

Is there any such thing in D?
