It was you that started talking about people having to implement hooks 
for a simple feature like ignore case. 
I naturally assumed you didn't understand how it works or the idea
that is supposed to be declaritive (annotation based).

If you don't like the EnumValueAdapter (which is an implementation detail)
then you can replace it with your own adapter already (possibly extending the original).
There's a seperate annotation for that.
(There's no need to write hooks for hooks. Not very "cool" at all. :-)

This was confirmed to me when you kept asking questions
instead of trying to understand how it really worked.

Claiming to have a working implementation of a new feature when you're not showing
and understanding of how the old stuff works is obviously a "red flag".

Problems:
1) Why should we let you modify something you don't understand?
2) Why should we continue to answer questions when you haven't tried to understand
it for yourself?

"Because it SEEMS to work for me" isn't an answer. :-)
