[Proposal] Enum Flags Attribute shall have an influence on node set

[gregsn]

All imported enums already come with the bitwise operations |(bitwise or) &(bitwise and) ^(bitwise xor).

We should probably import those only on enums that come with the [Flags] attribute like seen here.

Look: this is nonsense.

You still can import them manually, but by default, they don't get imported.

TBD: Is this a breaking change we can sell?

i propose 2 separate things: Flag and Enum. And then let the user decide if bitwise ops are wanted and choose accordingly. the system would then allow the bitwise operators only for Flags.

That clear distinction would be quite consistent and the end-user story is also super simple:

• there's Enum which is a list of named entries where you can choose from.
• if you want to have bitwise operations for such a thing, which might make sense in some cases, you can use Flag. This can be seen as an advanced Enum that comes with extra Nodes |, & an ^, but its entries can't exceed 64.

When importing from c#, the same distinction can be made.

• there's a [Flag] attribute -> Flag
• there isn't -> Enum

sounds good to me.
