Well, that kinda works, for a single enum, but I can't derive an enum from that
because I run into this when I subclass an enum.
playground28.swift:26:16: error: raw type 'Notes' is not convertible from any
literal
enum MyNotes : Notes
^
playground28.swift:26:6: error: type 'MyNotes' does not conform to protocol
'RawRepresentable'
enum MyNotes : Notes
^
Swift.RawRepresentable:11:13: note: protocol requires nested type 'RawValue'
typealias RawValue
