// Zig's enums can also have methods! This comment originally asked
// if anyone could find instances of enum methods in the wild. The
// first five pull requests were accepted and here they are:
//
// 1) drforester - I found one in the Zig source:
// https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/041212a41cfaf029dc3eb9740467b721c76f406c/src/Compilation.zig#L2495
//
// 2) bbuccianti - I found one!
// https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/6787f163eb6db2b8b89c2ea6cb51d63606487e12/lib/std/debug.zig#L477
//
// 3) GoldsteinE - Found many, here's one
// https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/ce14bc7176f9e441064ffdde2d85e35fd78977f2/lib/std/target.zig#L65

// 5) tomkun - here's another enum method
