 From your github readme:

>   if my_user.status == UserStatus::active.value
>   my_user.favorite_color = Color::blue

versus:

>   if my_user.status == UserStatus::ACTIVE
>   my_user.favorite_color = Color::BLUE

?

in other words, why would I want to add 250 lines of dependency code  
where 0 seems to suffice?
