Encapsulating enum access via dot syntax

General Usage
2

The workaround I’ve seen for access like this is to stash them inside a tiny module:

baremodule Fruits
using Base: @enum
@enum Fruit Apple Pear Banana
end

julia> Fruits.#<tab><tab>
Apple  Banana  Fruit   Pear

Now in 0.7, we also have getproperty overloading, so perhaps another solution will emerge. Since this is “just” a macro it’s possible to build upon the base implementation for the semantics you want.
