enum valueOf method
Am I able to modify the behavior of an enum’s valueOf? Or will it only ever consider the name property on the specified enum?

you can add extra parameter.

enum class X(val num:Int){ A(1),B(2),C(3) }
fun main(args:Array<String>){
    println( X.values().first{ it.name =="C"})
    println( X.values().first{ it.num==2})
}

That doesn’t change the behavior of valueOf(...) though, that requires you to iterator over values()

I believe valueOf() also iterate names.
