Enumeration

The syntax for enumerations is not yet implemented.
type List {
	first: Any,
	rest: List
}
​
layout List [
	Nil = rdf:nil,
	Cons {
		first: required Any,
		rest: required List
	}
]
There must be no ambiguities between the variants of an enumeration layout.
Generated Code
Rust
Enumerations are generated as enum types in Rust:
enum Enum {
	A(A),
	B(B)
}
The actual type can be retrieved using pattern matching.
TypeScript
Enumerations are generated in multiple ways in TypeScript.
If no variants are storing data, an enum type is generated:
enum Enum {
  A,
  B
}
Otherwise, a union is generated:
type Enum = A | B;
Note that any ambiguity between A and B is detected at compile time.
