Pugs r25693 contains clarification on what should happen when a short
name of an enum value is the same as a sub name.

1438 Like type names, enum names are parsed as standalone tokens
1439 representing scalar values, and don't look for any arguments.
1440 Unlike type names which are undefined protoobjects, enums are defined
1441 constant values. Also unlike types, they do not respond to C<.()>.
1442 They may not be post-declared.
1443
1444 our enum Maybe <OK FAIL>;
1445 sub OK {...}
1446 $x = OK; # certainly the enum value
1447 $x = OK() # certainly the function

I've added a test for that to t/spec/S12-enums/basic.t

The first part (meaning the enum value without parens) works in Rakudo,
the second dies with

too few arguments passed (0) - 1 params expected
current instr.​: '_block325' pc 1991 (EVAL_25​:554)
called from Sub '_block157' pc 2995 (EVAL_25​:898)
...

at run time.

Cheers,
Moritz

Moritz - I cannot find this test in this file, and no RT reference for this in t/spec/S12-enums
- can you double check & add the RT to the spec test file?

The RT System itself - Status changed from 'new' to 'open'

I didn't find the tests either, so I've recreated them in
S12-enums/misc.t. They also pass, so ticket closed.

@moritz - Status changed from 'open' to 'resolved'
