-----------------------------------------------------------------

I don't think that's necessary. You could have the same outcome by using 
something like:

{noformat}
pub enum RustEnum {
  Add = 1,
  Subtract = 2,
  Multiply = 3,
  Divide = 4,
  __Unknown(i32),
}
{noformat}

After all, all we need is the ability to parse an unknown enum value on the 
wire into a variant that can be processed by the receiving code. If 
{{__Unknown}} is generated automatically the reading code can always populate 
it with the unrecognized value on the wire.

>             Project: Thrift
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Rust - Compiler, Rust - Library

>            Priority: Major

> It seems that enums in the Rust implem are not forward compatible. As Thrift 
> enums are mapped 1:1 to Rust enum, if a newer Thrift definition adds a case 
> to an enum, an error will be returned when parsing the message.
> Is this intended? Is there a workaround?
