          Issue ID: 24215
           Summary: std.traits.isBasicType!Enum returns true
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: phobos
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: snarwin+bugzilla gmail.com

As of DMD+Phobos 2.105.2, the following program fails to compile:

---
import std.traits;
enum E { a }
static assert(!isBasicType!E);
---

According to the language spec [1], the basic types consist of `void`, `bool`,
the built-in integer types, the built-in floating-point types, and the built-in
character types. Enum types are not included.

std.traits.isBasicType should follow with the language spec, and return `false`
for enum types.
