bool and enum

Why doesn't map the enum keyword properly to the .NET Enum class?

with bool (System.Bool) i can do:

bool.Equals(), bool.ReferenceEquals(), if (b is bool)..

with enum this doesn't work although it should.

enum.Equals()

generates a compiler error, I have to use System.Enum instead.
