+// Check that resolving, in the value namespace, to an `enum` variant
+// through a type alias is well behaved in the presence of generics.
+// We check for situations with:
+// 1. a generic type `Alias<T>`, we can type-apply `Alias` when referring to a variant.
+// 2. a monotype `AliasFixed` of generic `Enum<T>`, we can refer to variants
+//    and the type-application of `T` in `AliasFixed` is kept.
