// Zig's enums can also have methods! This comment originally asked

// if anyone could find instances of enum methods in the wild. The

|
// first five pull requests were accepted and here they are:
|
|
//
|
|
// 1) drforester - I found one in the Zig source:
|
|
// https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/041212a41cfaf029dc3eb9740467b721c76f406c/src/Compilation.zig#L2495

// 2) bbuccianti - I found one!
