Boilerplate
If a huge chunk of your enum’s code is just
switching on the type, maybe you should just use a set of classes.
Using struct instead of class Marking classes as final Marking
methods as final
Future developers will want the flexibility to extend your system
in ways you can’t foresee.

evil.”

Conclusions Sometimes enums aren’t the answer. Static has drawbacks. All
of C++ is premature optimization. FP is not a silver bullet.
