Description

Ideally, we would have blocked these scenarios as part of strongly typed enums. But, that is a breaking change, so the next best thing we can do is not suggest using an enum in these places where they are very unlikely to be used:

Compare arguments with strongly typed enum parameters and verify that non-open-set arguments no longer receive option-set suggestions while valid enum parameters still do.
