set_enum('Status', {
    OK: 0,
    NOK: -1,
});

status = enum('Status', 0);

// Cannot delete `Status` since one of the members is being used
assert(is_err(try(del_enum('Status'))));

// Assign `nil` to status so the enum member is released
status = nil;

// Now we can remove enum `Status`
del_enum('Status');
