Enums extended
==============

[](#enums-extended)

The [introduction of enums in PHP 8.1](https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.enumerations.basics.php) allowed developers to define a closed set of values for classes, configuration, etc. Very helpful!

This library attempts to build on that a little by adding functionality for common use cases.
