> Currently, an enum switch with patterns is desugared in a very non-standard, > and potentially slow, way. It would be better to use the standard > `typeSwitch` bootstrap to classify the enum constants. The bootstrap needs to > accept enum constants as labels in order to allow this. A complication is > that if an enum constant is missing, that is not an incompatible change for > the switch, and the switch should simply work as if the case for the missing > constant didn't exist. So, the proposed solution is to have a new bootstrap > `enumConstant` that converts the enum constant name to the enum constant, > returning `null`, if the constant does not exist. It delegates to > `ConstantBootstraps.enumConstant` to do the actual conversion. And > `typeSwitch` accepts `null`s as padding. > > How does this look?
