This is a good thing in your own code. But in phobos, this is a
guarantee to break a lot of user code when adding to the enum.
You have yet to specify the problems with switch in OOP. Maybe
you meant something else, that final switch doesn't solve?
The idiomatic way to execute code depending on a value in OOP is
virtual dispatch.
