import std.string;

enum name = "Name";

void color(string s)
{
    switch (s)

    case name.toLower():

bug.d(9): Error: case must be a string or an integral constant, not ['n', 'a',
'm', 'e']
----

This is because toLower now uses appender internally.
The bug seems to be that CTFE doesn't recognize char arrays from appender as
strings.
