I love `ActiveRecord::Enum`, but I've always thought it should return symbols for its values instead of strings.
I went looking for discussion on this topic and couldn't find any. (I only found a recent discussion <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rubyonrails-core/jt-jhGjF-go/pCjBFVCmAgAJ> about using `StringInquirer`.) Does anyone know why the decision was made to use strings over symbols? What do folks think about an option for `enum` to have it return symbols? Something like `symbolize_values`. Switching the default to symbols would break code, so I wouldn't suggest that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
