I guess enums can't be forward referenced like other symbols in D?

This does not work:

module enumtest;

# struct Foo
# {
#	TEST X;
# }
#
# enum TEST { A, B, C }

Though doing this is, perhaps, unnecessary, it doesn't seem to be 
consistant with what D is supposed to be able to do.

Quoted here:

"Names at the global level can be forward referenced without needing a 
special declaration:"

Perhaps this forward referencing flexibility applies only to functions, 
structs, and classes?

Curious.
