I'm neutral on this one. Not a fan of static properties, certainly not a
fan of static properties on enums, but I do see the argument that the
restriction is somewhat arbitrary from a technical perspective. I guess you
can view the current baseline here in two ways: 1. Enums don't support
properties, and we don't go out of our way to support static properties in
particular, or 2. we prohibit static properties even though there is no
technical reason to do so. Considered through (1.) the limitation is not
arbitrary, just the result of a more general limitation that certainly *is*
needed.
