So I don’t understand why you would suggest using it for the declaration of enum cases. It would un-necessarily tie dot prefix with Enums and hide for newcomers the fact it can also be used for other static members.<div class=""><br class=""><div><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On 13 Feb 2016, at 19:02, T.J.
