It's currently undeniable that a Unit Enum name is a string.
So is a class name, as accessed by $foo::class.
$foo->name on an enum case is really just the same kind of
pseudo-reflection, in my view: it's telling you information about the
source code, useful primarily for debugging.
If you want to associate a single string value with each enum case, use
a string-backed enum, and propose some short-hand syntax. Please leave
unit enums as opaque objects for those of us who see value in that.
