enhanced enums - back from the dead?

In the compiler meeting today, we realized there was another approach 
for (2), which was, rather than changing the declaration of the enum 
constant from Foo$1 to Foo$A, to instead use condy at the use site (go 
through something like ConstantBootstraps::enumConstant) to come up with 
the cast target for the cases where a client needs access to a member of 
an enum constant that is not inherited from a supertype (which isn't the 
common case.)  This would allow us to leave the translation of the 
declaration of enums alone, and instead perturb the use site, when the 
new behavior is needed.  Which removes one of our risk items.
