This would work, but would make the protection parameter an int.
Not really any more beautiful than a string. The advantage of the
enum for me was, that it is clear from the signature what are
valid protections, this advantage gets lost with an anonymous
enum.
The only remaining advantage would be tool support for
completion, but I don't think it is worth it.
