Type Parameters:

V - The enum value type.

All Superinterfaces:

DagType<V>, EnumType<V>, ListType<V>

All Known Subinterfaces:

AbstractForestDynamicEnum.Support<V>, AbstractListDynamicEnum.Support<V>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractDynamicEnumSupport
```
public interface DynamicEnumSupport<V>
extends EnumType<V>
```
