I am stepping down from feature development #332

Since 2019, I have had a great time working with this library and developing it further. I have used it in dozens of projects with hundreds of enums and found it to be robust and convenient.

Since PHP 8.1 has now added support for native enums, I am migrating towards them using https://github.com/BenSampo/laravel-enum#migrate-to-native-php-enums. As discussed in https://github.com/BenSampo/laravel-enum/issues/288, I think there are great alternatives that offer some of the unique utilities of this library, and I don't think it should be rebuilt. Because of this, I will not contribute to the development of new features for this library in the future. I will stick around for a while to help with bugfixes and ensure compatility with the larger ecosystem, probably until I no longer use this library in any projects.

@BenSampo thank you for starting this library and allowing me to contribute.
