So during parsing the compiler would not know from which enum type to select the enum value. Not to mention unsolvable overloads if there would be two enums with the same value and the same name of the routine. 

So it’s a limitation of overloading? I mentioned I saw the idea from Swift (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/Swift/Conceptual/Swift_Programming_Language/Enumerations.html) but I don’t know if they have overloaded functions. That’s too bad, it would be a nice feature. Thanks.
