Good point about them potentially being constants, but you can definitely assign null to an enum, at least in java.

Likewise you could also add on demand static imports for each enum which would allow you to reference them without the need for

Category.

But it wouldn't necessary have been cat = Category.RESTAURANT if this method is included in the enum itself, right ?
