/**
 * An annotation indicating the possible values for an enum type. If an expression's type has this
 * annotation, then at run time, the expression evaluates to one of the enum values named by the
 * arguments. EnumVal uses the simple name of the enum value: the EnumVal type corresponding to
 * {@code MyEnum.MY_VALUE} is {@code @EnumVal("MY_VALUE")}.
 *
 * This annotation is treated as {@link StringVal} internally by the Constant Value Checker.
