Weekly "ask anything" thread
My understanding of the new PHP enums are that they provide a first-class citizen for enum patterns in userland that are extremely common. For example, there is a popular enum library https://github.com/myclabs/php-enum. But many people craft these by hand in their projects. The main idea is to provide an abstraction over "strings that inform business logic" for lack of a better term.

Safely upgrade from PHP 7.4 to 8.1 using Rector
That last rule SpatieEnumClassToEnumRector is skipped because I'm using the spatie/enum package, and I don't want it to be converted to PHP native enums automatically. The reason for that is that the Spatie package has some nice little helpers, and it's safer in my opinion to migrate some of the enums manually.
