How about a synthesised property - `caseValue` (similar to `rawValue`). For example:

```swift
enum Foo {
  case one
  case two(Int)
}

let test1 = Foo.one
let test2 = Foo.two(3)

let value1 = test1.caseValue // Foo.one
let value2 = test2.caseValue // Foo.two

```

Could call it `case` or `caseValue` - I'm fine either way.
