The language should support "dumb" enums, which are a simple wrapper around an integral type to allow using it with clear names in source code. Note that stringification of enum entries is a requirement for this.

For combining multiple values which aren't simply numbers, unions will exist instead for that purpose (and should go in a separate issue)

Roadmap

• Parse enums into their ast node
• User defined ctor #13 Implement custom constructors. Required for the point below
• Implement named constructors. Each enum member will create a corresponding named, no-arg constructor of that enum
• Transform enums into their corresponding structs, desugaring them. Probably need a more robust AST transformation system (as in one at all, see destructor implementation notes)
• Full implementation (with data members and names of members)
• etc
