Why do we need toEnum and fromEnum at all?  As far as I know, they are
merely there to help people implement things like enumFrom.
They are often useful for writing serialisation routines, and they see
occasional use for other kinds of safe type coercion as well
    (toEnum .  fromEnum)

Maybe they should be in a separate class.  Enum should be about enumerating, 
not “indexing”.
