> When an enumerated type is translated to objective-c, the type is replaced
> with simply "int". This takes away half the use of an enumerated type as a
> type. For instance, it is both clearer and a more precise translation to see
> "PersonID" as a field type in a method than "int". However, the objective-c
> compiler does not typedef the enum and as a result essentially forgets the
> type that is declared in the thrift IDL.
