I think that we do not understand, I'm talking about 'reflective enums' 
not regular enums (after all the thread is 'design of reflective enums).

Reflective are enums where you can print also the *label* associated 
with the enum, so there must be a function somewhere which have these 
label strings to be able to print the label at runtime.
So the label strings must be of course stored in the binary for 
reflective enums.
