I've seen this thread, and also wondered why anyone could EVER want a dataclass that is an enum. Nothing I've seen in the thread gives me any hint about that, really. On Sun, Jul 10, 2022 at 7:44 AM Barry Scott <barry@barrys-emacs.org> wrote:

I don't think that dataclasses have the limited set of intended uses that you are interpreting them as having. To me, the fact that they can be frozen makes them a good fit with Enum.
Please quote the email that you are replying to.
It is usually considered a code smell to have a class that is two or more things. This seems to be what you are trying to do.
How can one class be a set of fields and also the enum for one of its own fields? I do not understand why this is resonable.
