Hability to blacklist static methods

[gjm]

I know this issue has been discussed in spatie/enum#28 but with the recent addition of the Castable interface in Laravel I believe this needs to be revised.

I've created custom casters to Enum classes and would like to be able to make them implement the Castable interface which required a public static castUsing() method.

Currently this is impossible with Enum classes because static methods are assumed to be enum values. An @ignoreEnum doc annotation, like suggested in the issue, would solve this while still maintaining backwards compatibility.

Hey, I've transferred the issue to the laravel-enum package because your usecase applies to the Laravel implementation.
Because this specific usecase will be solved by #31 I still don't see the point to allow custom static methods on an enum class.
For this specific case we will check for the interface implementation and ignore the castUsing() method.

This will be done on a new Enum class in this laravel-enum package because it's an optional and Laravel specific case.

@Gummibeer OK, I'll be watching. Thanks.

Can I pitch in? I think Castable should be supported by this package, as soon as Laravel's new version is tagged. I wouldn't support a blacklist.

[gjm]

@brendt I agree. It's already available in 7.4.0.

There's still a pending PR that would be needed for this to work: laravel/framework#32213
