Research direction

Start by reviewing the proposed TypeScript syntax and the JavaScript output example. The issue does not name implementation files or tests, so the first step is to clarify the feature's semantics and locate the compiler areas and tests for enum syntax and symbol emission; done means the proposal has an agreed design and corresponding compiler coverage.
