+- An enum value is the same size, no matter which variant is picked
+- It will be the size of the largest variant (plus a tag)
+
+Note:
+
+The tag in an enum specifies which variant is currently valid, and is stored the
+smallest integer the compiler can get away with - it depends how many variants you
+have. Of course, if none of the variants have any data, the enum is *just* the tag.
+
+If you have a C background, you can this of this as being a `struct` containing an `int`
+and a `union`.
