 An enumeration type exist in many popular programming languages, both past and present, \eg Pascal~\cite{Pascal}, Ada~\cite{Ada}, \Csharp~\cite{Csharp}, \CC, Go~\cite{Go}, Java~\cite{Java}, Modula-3~\cite{Modula-3}, Rust~\cite{Rust}, Swift~\cite{Swift}, Python~\cite{Python}, and the algebraic data-type in functional programming.
+Enumeration types exist in many popular programming languages, both past and present, \eg Pascal~\cite{Pascal}, Ada~\cite{Ada}, \Csharp~\cite{Csharp}, \CC, Go~\cite{Go}, Java~\cite{Java}, Modula-3~\cite{Modula-3}, Rust~\cite{Rust}, Swift~\cite{Swift}, Python~\cite{Python}, and algebraic data-types in functional programming.
 Among theses languages, there are a large set of overlapping features, but each language has its own unique extensions and restrictions.

+Here, there is no enumeration because there is no specific type (pseudo enumeration).
+Hence, there is no notion of a (possibly ordered) set, modulo the \lstinline[language=pascal]{set of} type.
+The type of each constant name (enumerator) is inferred from the constant-expression type.
 Free Pascal~\cite[\S~3.1.1]{FreePascal} is a modern, object-oriented version of classic Pascal, with a C-style enumeration type.

 An Ada enumeration type is an ordered list of constants, called \Newterm{literals} (enumerators).
 \begin{ada}
 type RGB is ( @Red@, @Green@, Blue ); -- 3 literals (enumerators)
 \end{ada}
 No other enumerators are assignable to objects of this type.
+type RGB is ( Red, Green, Blue ); -- 3 literals (enumerators)
+\end{ada}
+Object initialization and assignment are restricted to the enumerators of this type.
 Enumerators without an explicitly designated constant value are auto-initialized: from left to right, starting at zero or the next explicitly initialized constant, incrementing by 1.
 To explicitly set enumerator values, \emph{all} enumerators must be set in \emph{ascending} order, \ie there is no auto-initialization.
 …
 (0, 10, RED)  (1, 20, GREEN)  (2, 30, BLUE)
 \end{ada}
+Note, Ada is case-\emph{insensitive} so names may appear in multiple forms and still be the same, \eg @Red@ and @RED@ (a questionable design decision).
 Like C, Ada enumerators are unscoped, \ie enumerators declared inside of an enum are visible (projected) into the enclosing scope.
+Note, Ada is case-\emph{insensitive} so names may appear in multiple forms and still be the same name (a questionable design decision).
+The enumeration operators are the ordering operators, @=@, @<@, @<=@, @=@, @/=@, @>=@, @>@, where the ordering relation is given implicitly by the sequence of enumerators, which is always ascending.

+The purpose is readability using character literals rather than names.
+\begin{ada}

+Interestingly, arrays of character enumerators can be treated as strings.
 \begin{ada}

-        Put_Line( Operator'Image( Op ) );

 Ada's boolean type is defined as a special enumeration, which can be used in conditions.
+Ada's boolean type is also a special enumeration, which can be used in conditions.

+Enumerations
+\begin{rust}
+        Syntax
+        Enumeration :
+           enum IDENTIFIER  GenericParams? WhereClause? { EnumItems? }
+        EnumItems :
+           EnumItem ( , EnumItem )* ,?
+        EnumItem :
+           OuterAttribute* Visibility?
+           IDENTIFIER ( EnumItemTuple | EnumItemStruct )? EnumItemDiscriminant?
+        EnumItemTuple :
+           ( TupleFields? )
+        EnumItemStruct :
+           { StructFields? }
+        EnumItemDiscriminant :
+           = Expression
+\end{rust}
+An enumeration, also referred to as an enum, is a simultaneous definition of a nominal enumerated type as well as a set of constructors, that can be used to create or pattern-match values of the corresponding enumerated type.
+Enumerations are declared with the keyword enum.
+An example of an enum item and its use:
+\begin{rust}
+enum Animal {
+        Dog,
+        Cat,
+}
+let mut a: Animal = Animal::Dog;
+a = Animal::Cat;
+\end{rust}
+Enum constructors can have either named or unnamed fields:
+\begin{rust}
+enum Animal {
+        Dog(String, f64),
+        Cat { name: String, weight: f64 },
+}
+let mut a: Animal = Animal::Dog("Cocoa".to_string(), 37.2);
+a = Animal::Cat { name: "Spotty".to_string(), weight: 2.7 };
+\end{rust}
+In this example, Cat is a struct-like enum variant, whereas Dog is simply called an enum variant.
+An enum where no constructors contain fields are called a field-less enum. For example, this is a fieldless enum:
+\begin{rust}
+enum Fieldless {
+        Tuple(),
+        Struct{},
+        Unit,
+}
+\end{rust}
+If a field-less enum only contains unit variants, the enum is called an unit-only enum. For example:
+\begin{rust}
+enum Enum {
+        Foo = 3,
+        Bar = 2,
+        Baz = 1,
+}
+\end{rust}
+\subsection{Discriminants}
+Each enum instance has a discriminant: an integer logically associated to it that is used to determine which variant it holds.
+Under the default representation, the discriminant is interpreted as an isize value. However, the compiler is allowed to use a smaller type (or another means of distinguishing variants) in its actual memory layout.
+\subsection{Assigning discriminant values}
+\subsection{Explicit discriminants}
+In two circumstances, the discriminant of a variant may be explicitly set by following the variant name with = and a constant expression:
+        if the enumeration is "unit-only".
+        if a primitive representation is used. For example:
+\begin{rust}
+        #[repr(u8)]
+        enum Enum {
+                Unit = 3,
+                Tuple(u16),
+                Struct {
+                        a: u8,
+                        b: u16,
+                } = 1,
+        }
+\end{rust}
+\subsection{Implicit discriminants}
+If a discriminant for a variant is not specified, then it is set to one higher than the discriminant of the previous variant in the declaration. If the discriminant of the first variant in the declaration is unspecified, then it is set to zero.
+\begin{rust}
+enum Foo {
+        Bar,                    // 0
+        Baz = 123,        // 123
+        Quux,              // 124
+}
+let baz_discriminant = Foo::Baz as u32;
+assert_eq!(baz_discriminant, 123);
+\end{rust}
+\subsection{Restrictions}
+It is an error when two variants share the same discriminant.
+\begin{rust}
+enum SharedDiscriminantError {
+        SharedA = 1,
+        SharedB = 1
+}
+enum SharedDiscriminantError2 {
+        Zero,      // 0
+        One,            // 1
+        OneToo = 1  // 1 (collision with previous!)
+}
+\end{rust}
+It is also an error to have an unspecified discriminant where the previous discriminant is the maximum value for the size of the discriminant.
+\begin{rust}
+#[repr(u8)]
+enum OverflowingDiscriminantError {
+        Max = 255,
+        MaxPlusOne // Would be 256, but that overflows the enum.
+}
+#[repr(u8)]
+enum OverflowingDiscriminantError2 {
+        MaxMinusOne = 254, // 254
+        Max,                       // 255
+        MaxPlusOne               // Would be 256, but that overflows the enum.
+}
+\end{rust}
+\subsection{Accessing discriminant}
+\begin{rust}
+Via mem::discriminant
+\end{rust}
+mem::discriminant returns an opaque reference to the discriminant of an enum value which can be compared. This cannot be used to get the value of the discriminant.
+Casting
+If an enumeration is unit-only (with no tuple and struct variants), then its discriminant can be directly accessed with a numeric cast; e.g.:
+\begin{rust}
+enum Enum {
+        Foo,
+        Bar,
+        Baz,
+}
+assert_eq!(0, Enum::Foo as isize);
+assert_eq!(1, Enum::Bar as isize);
+assert_eq!(2, Enum::Baz as isize);
+\end{rust}
+Field-less enums can be casted if they do not have explicit discriminants, or where only unit variants are explicit.
+\begin{rust}
+enum Fieldless {
+        Tuple(),
+        Struct{},
+        Unit,
+}
+assert_eq!(0, Fieldless::Tuple() as isize);
+assert_eq!(1, Fieldless::Struct{} as isize);
+assert_eq!(2, Fieldless::Unit as isize);
+\end{rust}
+\begin{rust}
+#[repr(u8)]
+enum FieldlessWithDiscrimants {
+        First = 10,
+        Tuple(),
+        Second = 20,
+        Struct{},
+        Unit,
+}
+assert_eq!(10, FieldlessWithDiscrimants::First as u8);
+assert_eq!(11, FieldlessWithDiscrimants::Tuple() as u8);
+assert_eq!(20, FieldlessWithDiscrimants::Second as u8);
+assert_eq!(21, FieldlessWithDiscrimants::Struct{} as u8);
+assert_eq!(22, FieldlessWithDiscrimants::Unit as u8);
+\end{rust}
+\subsection{Pointer casting}
+If the enumeration specifies a primitive representation, then the discriminant may be reliably accessed via unsafe pointer casting:
+\begin{rust}
+#[repr(u8)]
+enum Enum {
+        Unit,
+        Tuple(bool),
+        Struct{a: bool},
+}
+impl Enum {
+        fn discriminant(&self) -> u8 {
+                unsafe { *(self as *const Self as *const u8) }
+        }
+}
+let unit_like = Enum::Unit;
+let tuple_like = Enum::Tuple(true);
+let struct_like = Enum::Struct{a: false};
+assert_eq!(0, unit_like.discriminant());
+assert_eq!(1, tuple_like.discriminant());
+assert_eq!(2, struct_like.discriminant());
+\end{rust}
+\subsection{Zero-variant enums}
+Enums with zero variants are known as zero-variant enums. As they have no valid values, they cannot be instantiated.
+\begin{rust}
+enum ZeroVariants {}
+\end{rust}
+Zero-variant enums are equivalent to the never type, but they cannot be coerced into other types.
+\begin{rust}
+let x: ZeroVariants = panic!();
+let y: u32 = x; // mismatched type error

+\subsection{Variant visibility}
+Enum variants syntactically allow a Visibility annotation, but this is rejected when the enum is validated. This allows items to be parsed with a unified syntax across different contexts where they are used.
+\begin{rust}
+macro_rules! mac_variant {
+        ($vis:vis $name:ident) => {
+                enum $name {
+                        $vis Unit,
+                        $vis Tuple(u8, u16),
+                        $vis Struct { f: u8 },
+                }
+        }
+}
+// Empty `vis` is allowed.
+mac_variant! { E }
+// This is allowed, since it is removed before being validated.
+#[cfg(FALSE)]
+enum E {
+        pub U,
+        pub(crate) T(u8),
+        pub(super) T { f: String }
+}
+\end{rust}

+Model custom types that define a list of possible values.
+% https://www.programiz.com/swift/online-compiler
+A Swift enumeration provides a heterogenous set of enumerators, like a tagged @union@, where the field name is the enumerator and its list of type parameters form its type.
+\begin{swift}
+enum Many {
+        case Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun // basic enumerator
+        case code( String ) // string enumerator
+        case tuple( Int, Int, Int ) // tuple enumerator
+};
+var day = Many.Sat; // qualification to resolve type
+print( day );
+day = .Wed // no qualification after type resolved
+print( day );
+day = .code( "ABC" );
+print( day );
+day = .tuple( 1, 2, 3 );
+print( day );
+Sat
+Wed
+code("ABC")
+tuple(1, 2, 3)
+\end{swift}
 An enumeration defines a common type for a group of related values and enables you to work with those values in a type-safe way within your code.
 …
 \paragraph{Enumeration Syntax}
-You introduce enumerations with the @enum@ keyword and place their entire definition within a pair of braces:
-\begin{swift}
-enum SomeEnumeration {
-        // enumeration definition goes here
+}
-\end{swift}
-Here's an example for the four main points of a compass:
-\begin{swift}
-enum CompassPoint {
-        case north
-        case south
-        case east
-        case west
+}
-\end{swift}
-The values defined in an enumeration (such as @north@, @south@, @east@, and @west@) are its enumeration cases.
-You use the @case@ keyword to introduce new enumeration cases.
