enum State; 
A fiber may occupy one of three states: HOLD, EXEC, and TERM. The HOLD state
applies to any fiber that is suspended and ready to be called. The EXEC state
will be set for any fiber that is currently executing. And the TERM state is
set when a fiber terminates. Once a fiber terminates, it must be reset before
it may be called again. 

HOLD

EXEC

TERM

From std.stream:
enum FileMode {
  In = 1,
  Out = 2,
  OutNew = 6, // includes FileMode.Out
  Append = 10 // includes FileMode.Out
}

Would not this be better if we keep the name convention consistent.

Note that std.socket also uses the SHOUTY style. But I think Phobos 
should stick to the std.stream style. The std.range style seems to be 
one of Andrei's peccadilloes.
