Instances of an enum of type string can't be passed into a switch or final
switch:

----
enum Test : string {
    Foo = "Foo",
}

Test a = Test.Foo;
switch(a) {
    case Test.Foo: break;
}
----

even though a string is a valid type to pass into a (final) switch. 

Compiler error: 
Error: 'a' must be of integral or string type, it is a Test

but obviously the underlying type of 'a' is string.
