Synthesizing Comparable, for enums

[allevato (Tony Allevato)]

@taylorswift

i think not having the associated values would be a huge loss,, i can think of lots of situations where you’d want to have associated values but not use them in comparison, for example you might want to associate ID numbers or metadata records

This is a contradiction: if Comparable were implemented this way, then all instances of the same case with different associated values must compare as equal. But Comparable inherits from Equatable, whose derived definition of == is that instances are equal based on the pairwise equality of their associated values (when they are all Equatable).
