Tim, I am curious if adding a backing value in a future release would
be considered a breaking change or not, something like:
enum SortDirection {
case Ascending = 1;
case Descending = -1;
}
The exact values don't matter for my question, only whether or not it
would be considered a backwards compatibility break.
