> When a Ruby struct is generated, if the struct has fields that are of enumerated types, it is converted into an i32 field, and no trace of the enumerated type is recorded. I propose we add a new key to the FIELDS entries, :enum_class, that contains the class constant for the enumerated type. This way, you can reflectively determine both that the field is of an enumerated type and which type it is.
