Roughly, you would be able to conform an enum to a ValuesEnumerable protocol which would automatically synthesize an `allValues` static property on it. You could use an extension to do this to an enum that didn't belong to you, so you could get this even if the original author didn't think to add it.

Could you provide a little more information about this ValuesEnumerable 
protocol? My Swift says it doesn't know about such protocol.
Strange, but goggle knows nothing about
'swift "ValuesEnumerable"'
But I can see ValuesEnumerable in some articles related to C#.
