Defines a finite set of values specific to the enumeration. Typically these values enumerate all possible forms something can take and provide a lightweight alternative to case classes.
Each call to aValue method adds a new unique value to the enumeration. To be accessible, these values are usually defined asval members of the enumeration.
All values in an enumeration share a common, unique type defined as theValue type member of the enumeration (Value selected on the stable identifier path of the enumeration instance).
Values SHOULD NOT be added to an enumeration after its construction; doing so makes the enumeration thread-unsafe. If values are added to an enumeration from multiple threads (in a non-synchronized fashion) after construction, the behavior of the enumeration is undefined.
The initial value from which to count the integers that identifies values at run-time.

A class for sets of values.
A class for sets of values. Iterating through this set will yield values in increasing order of their ids.
The set of ids of values (adjusted so that the lowest value does not fall below zero), organized as aBitSet.
