Hi,
Switch-case statement fails for enums of strings because it is not of integral
type.

For the following code:
enum strEnum : string {strA = "strA", strB = "strB"};

strEnum se = strEnum.strA;
switch (strEnum) {
    case strEnum.strA: break;
};

I get the error message:
Error: 'strEnum' is not of integral type, it is a strEnum

In the same moment, I can workaround that by:
string realStr = strEnum.strA;
switch (realStr) {
    case strEnum.strA: break;
};

Unfortunately it doesn't help in my case where I want use final switch:  

final switch (strEnum) {
    case strEnum.strA: break;
    case strEnum.strB: break;
};

Best Regards
Blazej
