Object Slots
The layout of object slots for my instances.
Entries
A set of true names that are visible within this module.
A redundant cached set of atoms that have been exported. These are precisely the imported names less the private names. This is nil during module loading or compiling, but can be computed and cached if requested afterward.
A set of definitions which implement methods (and forward declarations, abstract declarations, etc.).
A map from string to an AvailObject.
A map from true names to tuples of seal points.
An A_Tuple of all block phrases produced during compilation, in the order in which the block phrases were produced. Each A_RawFunction contains an index into this tuple, as well as a reference to this A_Module.
Properties
In Java it was possible to define this interface in such a way that the name method was abstract and implemented by each specific Enum, but Kotlin breaks this mechanism. BUT – we're able to cast this to Enum to get to that field. I believe this code gets copied down into each specific Enum subclass, so the dynamic type check for the cast is trivially eliminated in each case. And worst case, Hotspot will be able to inline calls to this from sites that are known to be Enums.

Functions
Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared.
