Oh, right. I should have tested this. This does not work for types where we provide spec-guided typed accessors, so |

I believe implementing
TryFromPrimitive, which also returns the original number in the error case, is more useful than havingUnknowncatch-all variants for all enums.This also makes the types ABI-compatible, which is still to be used with care when using foreign data, but that is how all Rust enums work until we have unnamed enum variants.
