Hello folks,
Since you are asking, let me chime in and say that I use enum's very
frequently. However, my most common use case for them isn't for boolean
flags -- it's actually the strategy pattern. Meaning, attaching a piece of
logic to each value. And more importantly, I order the strategies via

We use EnumSet and EnumMap extensively, frequently iterating over them (the
enum's natural order being critical).

So for us it's... "
The idea of EnumSet implementing SortedSet or NavigableSet has been around for a
long time; see
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-6278287
But yes, EnumSet could also implement SequencedSet. Similarly, EnumMap could
implement SequencedMap, SortedMap, or NavigableMap.
Implementing NavigableS
Hello!
Looks like this was overlooked. On the other hand, it could even implement
SortedSet or Navigable set, as it's essentially not just ordered but
sorted, according to the enum natural order. Same for EnumMap.
With best regards,
