FEATURE REQUEST: Cast backed enums into string or int in blade

[avidianity]

Say we have this sample model:

use App\Enums\MyEnum;

class MyModel extends Model {
    protected $casts = [
        'foo' => MyEnum::class
    ];
}

When casting eloquent properties with enums, we have to do this everytime we try to render it, otherwise it throws error:
{{ $model->foo->value }}

It would be great if the renderer/view engine can recognize that it's an enum and automatically return it's string/int version so we can still render it like so:
{{ $model->foo }}

probably something like

use BackedEnum;

if($property instanceof BackedEnum) {
   return $property->value;
}
