For enum values within unions (which are already handled specially by giving them a CBOR tag) we could simply use a SID (that we then would have to generate for each enum value) instead of a string.  We could also extend this to enums outside unions; but here the recurrence to the (outside unions unambiguous) value sounds better to me.

Bits.  Oh.  Same procedure, I’d say.
