Description
Feature or enhancement
The new enum.FlagBoundary system seems quite nice, but there does not appear to be an option to accept a value (a.k.a KEEP) but warn when out of range (STRICT throws an error, and would require a second class to wrap the value).
Pitch
I see two possible options:
- Add a new flag (e.g.
WARNorWARN_KEEP) which warns when the value is out of range - Modify
KEEPsuch that a warning is displayed when the value is out of range
(1) seems like the better option from a backwards-compatibility perspective, but (2) seems like the better option from a usability and maintenance perspective (as missing values are easier to spot).
