This results in code where it is difficult to disambiguate which getter functions are logically grouped together for a particular Enum. Additionally, given the lack of this capability, we also have to manually create and maintain Java enums for each enum in the C layer.

In case a Java user wishes to use bitwise operations on the enums, they can use the enum's `.ordinal()` method for this. The original static getter methods will still be generated as before.
