In the light of this, maybe enums (assuming this feature comes first)
should be implemented as immutable objects rather than values?
Type-checking for enums would be important, so in PHP terms, an enum
"instance" would likely be closer to an object than a value in nature
anyway.
The way I look at it, this feature doesn't prevent enums from happening, it
just changes the design parameters.
Just a thought.
