This is currently ambiguous in the spec. The test suite seems to expect that enums should return things like Weekday::Monday, but some discussion on irc with TimToady a couple of weeks ago [1] left it somewhat unresolved. (Perhaps it's been resolved since then and I just haven't seen it.) So, I think this ticket will be waiting on some resolution of the spec. We might need to post a query to p6l for clarification.
