I was going to respond, but I think Rowan summed it up here. Stateful enums are called tagged unions, and that's a separate phase to keep the implementation and discussion focused for now. We hope to add those in the future, but for now unit and scalar enums have a ton of value unto themselves. --Larry Garfield -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: https://www.php.net/unsub.php
