\##Usage

\###Enum (PHPExtra\\Type\\EnumInterface)

Create your first enum type by creating a new class:

```
class TheGuy extends Enum
{
    const _default = self::NICE_GUY;
    const SMART_GUY = 'Mike';
    const NICE_GUY = 'Rick';
}
```

Thats all.

Now you can use it:

```
$guy = new TheGuy();
echo $guy->getValue(); // returns Rick

$mike = new TheGuy(TheGuy::MIKE);
echo $mike->getValue(); // returns Mike

echo $guy->isEqual($mike); // returns false
```

If no default value will be specified, you must set it as a constructor argument. If given constructor value will be invalid, `\UnexpectedValueException` will be thrown.
