Well, I think we should*either* have an ordinal*or* a name.
But not both.
Currently, after thinking about it, I'm in favor of just a name. And no ordinal.
Having both is, I think, unnecessary.
Yeah, that was my instinct. It's a bit like surrogate keys on database
tables - if your table has a natural Primary Key, there's no need to add
an auto-increment field. :)
And the name kind of has to exist anyway, or you can't reference the
enum value at all. You could make it inaccessible, but then not being
able to get a string representation for debugging, or to do a dynamic
Weekdays::getByName($_GET['day']), would be annoying.
