That seems a bit of a strong reaction, though I agree that this can be solved fairly easily in user-land: trait ArrayKey { public function key(): string { return get_class($this) . '::' . $this->name; } } enum T { use ArrayKey; case A; case B; } echo T::A->key(); // outputs: T::A or even set it up in the constructor. If you don't have control over the enums, you can write a simple function to the same. As a side-note, I would rather have enums able to be casted to a string than to change how arrays work. Even if it has to be something 'ugly' to keep people from using that itself as a value (similar to how js symbol types work -- a one-way cast).
