Furthermore, you could define methods/fields on enum values, like Java's enums.
There's no reason why you couldn't do this now, even with the class separation. I've documented the customization protocol, so just add these methods to the class you set in value_factory.
No need to conflate the classes, which I think just adds unnecessary complexity and confusion.
