[swift-evolution] Proposal SE-0009 Reconsideration

> * Already very similar notation for enums where you leave off the entity name when it can be implied.

That's the problem. Leading dot already means something—it means "look up a static member of the type we're expecting here". (That's what you're actually doing when you access an "enum case".) It can't mean two different things in the same place.
