    That is just another level of static typing beyond what .NET natively offers. It isn’t a bad thing, some languages even have it built in.

    Rules for your case:

    1. Make it a structure so it is as cheap as an Enum or Integer.
    2. Make it immutable. That means you get a constructor but no setters.
    3. Override Equals, ==, and all their friends.
