Converting Enum or Enum case to string must produce error

echo $card1->value . "\n"; // OK (not a conversion)

// -----------------------------------------------

enum Suit2: int {
case Hearts = 10;
case Diamonds = 20;
case Clubs = 20;
case Spades = 40;
}

echo (Suit::Hearts + Suit::Diamonds) . "\n"; // this statement must display error
echo (Suit::Hearts->value + Suit::Diamonds->value) . "\n"; // OK (not a conversion)

$card2a = Suit::Hearts;
$card2b = Suit::Diamonds;
echo ($card2a + $card2a) . "\n"; // this statement must display error

Research direction

The report names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by running the PHP examples in the issue and tracing how NetBeans' PHP support handles enum conversions and arithmetic. Done means invalid enum conversions and operations are reported as errors while explicit ->value access remains valid.
