Incorrect exeptions with enums

[SimonVorgers]

I have a question related to this MR

Can you tell us why this should throw an exception?

File:

enum Foo: int {
    case ONE = 1;
}
class Bat {
    const ONE_VALUE = Foo::ONE;
}

Should be supported since php 8.1.0 🤔
Because now, its throwing every time an exception.

File:

if ($classReflection instanceof ReflectionEnum) {
  throw Exception\UnableToCompileNode::becauseOfValueIsEnum($context, $classReflection, $node);
}

The comment from original issue could also work.

Thanks in advance

this should throw an exception?

Static analysis should work, but retrieving the value of an ENUM is not possible, because ENUMs only exist as instances.

The core invariant of BetterReflection, which is what should make it "better", is that it shouldn't load any code: instantiating an ENUM will cause autoloading, which will already break this core design constraint that is the foundation of the entire library.
