ReflectionEnum is fine.

Indeed, it looks like enum declarations aren't hoisted as classes are.

Description:
------------
This seems to be an inconsistency. The RFC does not say anything about this.
The opposite of what happens to a class.
Working if testEnum is declared before reflection.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
$objClass = testObject::class; // OK
$enumClass = testEnum::class; // OK
new \ReflectionClass(testObject::class); // OK
new \ReflectionEnum(testEnum::class); // Fatal Error
//
class testObject {}
Enum testEnum {
case TEXT;
}
Expected result:
----------------
No error
Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ReflectionException: Class "testEnum" does not exist in
test.php:7
Stack trace:
#0 test.php(7): ReflectionEnum->__construct()
#1 {main}
thrown in test.php on line 7
