The scenarios I'm really interested in here is DRY; automatic assignment
(i.e. not having to specify any values); manual assignment (which should
allow any expression that is legal within a class definition) and being
able to introspect the enum.

Everything else falls out of supporting those scenarios within the normal
restrictions of enums (in particular 1:1 mapping) and conforming to obvious
interfaces.
