Declares an enumeration.

# =============================================================================
# क्रम — Declares an enumeration.
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • Enumeration declaration — `क्रम <Name> { member, ... }` declares a set of ordered, named constants.
#   • Discriminant values — Members can have explicit numeric values with `= <number>`.
#   • Pattern matching — `चुनो` with `स्थिति` branches selects on क्रम variants.
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Confusing क्रम (enum with named constants) with विभेद (tagged union with payloads) — क्रम members carry no data.
#
# See also: विभेद
# =============================================================================

# क्रम — enumerated constants (ordered variants)
#
# क्रम <Nomen> { <membrum>, … }
# क्रम <Nomen> { <membrum> = <मान>, … }
#
# GRAMMAR:
#   ordoDecl :← 'क्रम' ident '{' ordoMember (',' ordoMember)* '}'
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   rubrum
#   actum

enum Color {
    rubrum,
    viridis,
    caeruleum
}

    pendens = 0,

    finitum = 2

    # Using क्रम values: members are qualified by their क्रम name
    const Color color ← Color.rubrum
    const Condicio condicio ← Condicio.actum

    # Select by क्रम
    switch color {
        case Color.rubrum {
            print "rubrum"
        }
        case Color.viridis {
            print "viridis"
        }
        case Color.caeruleum {
            print "caeruleum"
        }
    }

    # Select by क्रम with numeric values
    switch condicio {
        case Condicio.pendens {
            print "pendens"
        }
        case Condicio.actum {
            print "actum"
        }
        case Condicio.finitum {
            print "finitum"
        }

Expected output:

rubrum
actum
