Why enums in 0.79?

[frattaro]

I didn't really understand the comments in the release notes. I don't understand why you couldn't do this:

export namespace UserProfile {
  export type status =
    | "Active"
    | "Inactive"
    | "Invited - Pending"
    | "Not Invited";
}

instead of what 0.79 produces:

export namespace UserProfile {
  export enum status {
    ACTIVE = "Active",
    INACTIVE = "Inactive",
    INVITED___PENDING = "Invited - Pending",
    NOT_INVITED = "Not Invited"
  }
}

Same issue,

export namespace TaskAction{
  /**
   * Task Action
   */
- export type action = 'run' | 'pause' | 'resume'
+ export enum action {
+   RUN = 'run',
+   PAUSE = 'pause',
+   RESUME = 'resume'
+ }
+}

eslint:

1. 'TaskAction' is already defined.eslintno-redeclare
2. ES2015 module syntax is preferred over namespaces.eslint@typescript-eslint/no-namespace
