FWIW This isn’t enum-specific — the dot shortcut syntax works for any type 
member of a type, but only in contexts where you’re passing a value.

Correct me if I’m wrong, I believe the ambiguity is that you can start a line 
with a dot when you split a method call/property access chain into multiple 
lines and want to continue calling methods on the last line’s value.
