Enum values cannot be altered. It is an error to try and assign a value to an enum. However, the value of an enum isn't really const or immutable. It's copied every time that the enum is used. This is fine in cases where the enum is a value type, but it's problematic when the enum is a reference type. I believe that the classic example is if you have an AA which is an enum. You copy _the entire_ AA every time it's referenced. But it's not just AA's. Normal arrays have the problem too.
