Compare:

using A::{X,Y,Z};

and

enum A {X,Y,Z};

Notice, both are comma-separated brace-enclosed lists of names. Also, in
both cases, each name is introduced into its parent scope.

A slight alteration we could consider would be:

using A {X,Y,Z};

(drop the extra ::), and then perhaps that seems more natural?

It's a common coding style to have a big block of usings at the top of a
.cpp file. This feature would significantly shorten that block.
