1610 – Enum.stringof is int, not the name of the enum

import std.stdio;
enum ABC { a, b, c }
void main() { writeln(ABC.stringof); } // prints "int"
This causes major issues in reflective and serialization code. The .stringof should evaluate to the name of the enum, e.g. "ABC".

I have to deal with this problem in a template function that is used with a lot of different enum types (by some other bigger templates). But not handled enum types hit a static assert.
I wrote different template functions before but hit some limitations that forced me to put everything in the same function using static ifs.
Because T.stringof is almost always "int", I have a hard time to find out what enum is not handled.
I hope this problem will be addressed soon.

this issue is also in latest V1 so switching the version to that

Fixed in DMD 1.037 and 2.021
