> It would be great if we could have GenericEnumSymbol implementing Comparable
> (either using int or String rep).
> This is mainly because GenericEnumSymbol is trying to mimic the
> java.lang.Enum and enums are inherently comparable that's why java.lang.Enum
> is Comparable.
> Sorting Enum and GenericEnumSymbol is an action that we perform a lot. Making
> it Comparable frees us from explicit type checking and improves general code
> clarity and performance.
