But it _isn't_ going to be a valid enum value. IMHO, a function which is
taking or-ed flags where those flags are enums needs to take uint or
ulong or
whatever the base type of the enum is and _not_ the enum type.
It makes perfect sense if you think of an enum as an integral type, some
values of which have names, as in the "Color" example I posted earlier.
Problem is you think of it like that in a subset of cases only. FWIW I
wouldn't have advocated for final switch if that was the fostered view.
