We should probably start by expanding the test suite to account for using `$casts` with enums. That'll make it more clear what dependencies are related to this. I think "fixing"...

In the meantime you can still use enums without using `$casts`. That will let the existing functionality simply convert the enums to their string values when encountered. Docs have been...
