Concise, expressive implementation of rich enums in Go.

A singleton generic base implementation that provides all essential enum behaviors, including global uniqueness and mutual-comparability. Rich enum sets are realized effectively as separate type-specializations of the generic base. These type-specializations are minimal and can be easily implemented in one or more user packages.

Rich enums can encapsulate any number of custom member fields and corresponding functions. Rich enums are type-safe, immutable, and globally unique. Within a defined enum set, the enums are mutually comparable; enums from different sets are incomparable.

Rich enums uses a variant of the Go generics pattern.
