Listen now
Description
πŸ”’ We've made structs and optionals observable in the Composable Architecture, eliminating the need for `ViewStore`s and `IfLetStore`s, so what about enums? If we can make enums observable, we could further eliminate the concept of the `SwitchStore`, greatly improving the ergonomics of working with enums in the library.

πŸ”’ We've studied `Equatable` and `Hashable`, their laws, and saw how value types as simple bags of data easily conform via "structural" equality. What about reference types? Reference types are an amalgamation of data _and_ behavior, and that data can be mutated in place at any time, so how can...
