ObjectSlots

The tuple of definitions that constitute this multimethod. This field should only be read and written with volatile slot semantics.

A set of semantic restrictions which, when their functions are invoked with suitable types as arguments, will determine whether the call arguments have mutually compatible types, and if so produce a type to which the call's return value is expected to conform. This type strengthening is assumed to hold at compile time (of the call) and checked at runtime.

A tuple of tuple types below which new signatures may no longer be added.

The method's lexer or nil.

The A_Set of A_Stylers that have been added to this method. At most one may be added to each method per module.

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.

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.
