enum() now also returns valid_values => [...] to provide hints #91

This just seems like good metadata to provide. Could be used to auto-build forms or other types of validations, etc...

Rik points out that this breaks scalar context;

my $validator = enum(...) will return the final hashref, not the validator.

We'd be better served by an actual type system.
