Enumeration With Go

Usage of named aliases for types in an effort to emulate enumeration behavior from other languages can cause issues.

Using a named type for an alias gives the illusion of control, but since a literal value can be placed as it matches the type, it doesn't really do anything but provide an additional layer of abstraction.

Example:

• Overriding the Values
• Iota Not Allowing Override With String

# this uses aliases to simulate what a linux user would normally expect to write
# idiomatic powershell leans on clarity over being terse, so "%" would be ForEach-Object for example. 
$Files = gci -Recurse -Filter package.json | Where Name -notmatch "node_modules" | % { [pscustomobject]@{FullName = $_.FullName; Content = (gc $_.FullName -raw | ConvertFrom-Json) }}
$UpdateFiles = $files | ? {$_.Content.Dependencies -match 'temporalio'}
$UpdateFiles | % {
    $f = $_ # $_ = pipelined object with all properties available
    $f.Content.Dependencies.temporalio = '^0.13.0' # this is object property reference because ConvertFrom-Json gave us an object, not raw text
    $f.Content | ConvertTo-Json -depth 100 | Out-File -Path $f.FullName -Force  # convert back to json as it was actually an object

    However, this isn't always the case. For instance, running a script on my machine, using my own base64 encoded PAT, ../_apis/../projects needs `Basic` but ../_apis/../pullrequests needs `Bearer`. When running through AzDO, they all need `Bearer`.

    ... but it appears that if you use your account's PAT, you need to use `Basic` and encode it with a : (colon) at the beginning of the PAT:
