Add enum support. #13

It'd be nice to be able to make use of enums - it's a feature I used with capnp that was quite helpful for weird datastructure shenanigans. Opening an issue to collect thoughts before I give it a stab.

itdaniher commented 10 years ago

Coercion to and from uint would be useful for my purposes, largely just as syntactic sugar. Turns out msgpack doesn't define an enum type.

mneumann commented 10 years ago

There is a new msgpack spec which includes user-defined types. But this will never be interoperable with other languages, so it's better not to use.

mneumann commented 9 years ago

Yeah, it's not interoperable.
