I gotta say, I'm with Antoine here. It's pretty natural (also coming from other languages) to assume that the class used to define the enums is also the type of the enum values. Certainly this is how it works in Java and C++, and I would say it's the same in Pascal and probably most other languages. Well, I guess I can wrap my head around it :) An Enum is an odd duck anyway, which I suppose is one of the things that makes it worth adding.
Sorry, you're being to literary/poetic. I can't tell what you meant by this response.
