Add enum support to byte, short, int, and long
See original GitHub issueThe enum trait today can only be attached to a string shape. Updating this trait to also support byte, short, int, and long would make it support a broader range of uses cases that involve a finite set of numeric values.

We have intEnum and string enums now in Smithy IDL 2.0. Each new shape requires a new type, we have to do tricky things like subclass an existing type (e.g., intEnum extends from integer, and string enum extends from string), and each type is more overhead for people trying to figure out how Smithy works. I think intEnum and string enums cover the vast majority of use cases, so I don’t think there would be alot of value in expanding enums to support all these types.
thank you! that solves my issue - must have missed it in the documentation
