Per my email on this thread, the one case which might be worth handling is enums with String raw values. However, a String-backed enum is not necessarily the same as in other languages where annotations/attributes are used to indicate a representation name for the enumerated value, so this would likely need to be a behavior one could either opt into or out of.
