Sorry if my reply wasn't clear enough and somehow ambiguous.
I agree. Enums are classes. And my reply was just a way to explain this
view in a friendly manner.
Maybe reading previous replies in the thread could be more clear on my
stance.

Comming back to the RFC, I think it needs to be changed as I believe it
focuses too much on internals, ignoring userland view.
Just adding the new function should be enough.
