Hi,

i have a struct containing "attributes" identified by int-ids:

struct Foo
{
     char[uint] attributes;
}


I would like to use instead of the int-ids an enum, since the range of 
the ids is strict and cannot change. And i want this struct to be 
generic. So what i need would be a mixin template, which i give the enum 
-members and the template generates the enum.

struct Foo(char[] enummembers)
{
     enum Bar
     {
          mixin enummembers;
     }

     char[][] attributes;
}

Now i would be able to address the attributes by the enum-members. Is 
that possible? Since i couldn't find anythiong close in the docs or in 
the Wiki4D or in the dsource tutorials

struct Foo(char[] enumMembers)
{
     mixin("enum Bar {" ~ enumMembers ~ "}");
     char[][Bar] attributes;
}

...?

If enumMembers isn't in the exact correct form, you'll probably need a 
string function to get it there.
