Are Square Enums exposed in .NET API? Asking because coding them as literal strings can lead to hard to find runtime bugs e.g. I was testing for Invoice Status == “CANCELLED” because I’d spell-checked and corrected for Australian/British English rather than the correct American English spelling “CANCELED”. Using defined Enum values in code would detect this type of mistake at compile time.
