BTW, I'm already doing that in JavaCPP. If you're curious, give it a try 
here with, for example, TensorRT:
https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp-presets/tree/master/tensorrt#sample-usage

IMO, it works well enough, but I had to add an "intern()" method that 
works a bit like String.intern() to convert any random enum object to 
the right singleton object... If you have any better ideas than that, 
please let me know!
