void main() {

Result is
---------------
Title
Char(Title)


I can do cast(uint)( FieldLength.Title ) to fix this, but then I 
am repeating the type of `enum`.

Is there any way to get the type of enum without interacting with 
its items?
Is there any way to get string representation of an item of enum 
without casting?

std.traits.OriginalType

I think casting to the OriginalType and then using to!string is the 
correct way to do this.
