------------------------------------
+1
> Don't allow unquoted strings at all
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-472
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-472
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Compiler (General)
> Affects Versions: 0.1
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Priority: Minor
>
> If you are working with constants in Thrift and happen to write a string
> without quotes, the compiler will warn you about using unquoted strings, but
> it's not an error. This can lead to some confusing debugging if you actually
> mistyped an enum value's constant or the like.
> I propose that rather than having such a thing as an "unquoted string", we
> just check if it's a constant, and if not error out. It seems like it would
> decrease the potential complexities without really sacrificing any
> functionality.
