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. Barry
