In Java I have something like this

```
public enum FlatFileHeaderMapping {

   HEADER_EL(1),
   HEADER_RESERVED1(5),
   HEADER_RESERVED2(2),
   HEADER_MESSAGE_TYPE(4)

   public final int fieldSize;

    private FlatFileHeaderMapping(int fieldSize) {
        this.fieldSize = fieldSize;
   }

}

```

which I can then use it place each line into a map and later access the keys in the map via this enum (like symbols)

Enumeration does not have this quality as far as I can see, and case classes are not ordered like the enum declarations - so cannot be used to match a record layout as shown above. At least not without the support of an ordered collection.

I could be missing something obvious, hence the question!

Thanks
