I guess there are cultural differences around this. Anyway, you can
use the functional/convenience API for this purpose.
Would it be wise to forbid ... as an enum value to preserve the option
to use it for automatic value assignment in some indefinite future?
No. If somebody has a use for ... is a value we're not going to say no on the very remote chance that Guido someday
changes his mind on that point. ;)
