+When exporting the name of an `enum` type `t`, by default, the module also
+implicitly exports all of `t`'s constructors. For example:
+
+~~~~~~~~
+mod foo {
+    export t;
+    
+    enum t {a, b, c};
+}

+Here, `foo` imports `t`, `a`, `b`, and `c`.

+The second and third forms of export declaration can be used to export
+an `enum` item without exporting all of its constructors. These two
+forms can only be used to export an `enum` item. The second form
+exports the `enum` type name without exporting any of its
+constructors, achieving a simple kind of data abstraction. The third
+form exports an `enum` type name along with a subset of its
+constructors. For example:
+
+~~~~~~~~
+mod foo {
+    export abstract{};
+    export slightly_abstract{a, b};
+
+    enum abstract {x, y, z}
+    enum slightly_abstract {a, b, c, d}
+}

+Module `foo` exports the types `abstract` and `slightly_abstract`, as well as
+constructors `a` and `b`, but doesn't export constructors `x`, `y`, `z`, `c`,
+or `d`.
