`EnumItem.EnumType` is missing in the Luau type checker

[Maximum_ADHD]

On Roblox, there’s an obscure member of the EnumItem type named EnumType which allows you to identify the parent Enum of the EnumItem, given a variable where typeof(variable) == "EnumItem".

For example, the following will evaluate to true:

local item = Enum.ActionType.Draw
print(item.EnumType == Enum.ActionType)

I observed this while using the Luau type checker beta:

In the meantime, you could probably do something like this instead:

However, this would only be a compile-time check that style is an Enum.EasingStyle. But your point still stands that the Luau type checker needs to be able to verify the EnumType member.

Hi! This issue isn’t resolved even slightly. Its behavior is entirely unchanged!
