IntegerEnumSlotDescriptionEnum

interface IntegerEnumSlotDescriptionEnum

The IntegerEnumSlotDescriptionEnum is an interface that constrains an enumeration used to describe the values that can occur in a particular integer slot or BitField.

It includes the fieldName and fieldOrdinal operations to ensure they are statically available in the actual implementations, which are really intended to be Enums, but neither Java nor Kotlin provide a way to sub-categorize enums.
