Unicorn should support Enums

[nerdoc]

I have a component that needs to check against a enum or IntChoices class in the template:

      {% if account.account_type == AccountType.PERSON %}
        ...
      {% elif account.account_type == AccountType.COMPANY %}
      ...
      {% endif %}

The component itself looks like this:

class AccountType(IntegerChoices):
    PERSON = 1, _("Single Person")
    COMPANY = 2, _("Company/Business")

class AccountDetailView(UnicornView):
    account = Account.objects.none()
    AccountType = AccountType
    ...

I use the class itself in the template, to check against a proper name, and not against hardcoded "1" or "2".
This worked "before" Unicorn, with plain Django w/ HTMX.
When the page is rendered the first time, it works, but when clicking on any unicorn-enabled button, and the component is rendered again using the AJAX call, the AccountType variable is not in the context.
If I just replace it with AccountType = "foo" in the component, it is correctly rendered, even with AJAX calls.

I just saw that some types like IntegerChoices (which is of type (int, Choices), and Choices is an Enum) are not supported by Unicorn. But I get no error message or warning, even when logging is set to DEBUG.

I suggest that Enums should be supported...

I can see that I can bring support for a custom class to Unicorn by adding the to_json() method
But I can't wrap my head around that.
If I want to add the class to the component (AccountType = AccountType), then the json method must be a @classmethod?

class AccountType(IntegerChoices):
    PERSON = 1, _("Single Person")
    COMPANY = 2, _("Company/Business")

    @classmethod
    def to_json(cls):
        return [
            {
                "value": value,
                "label": label,
            }
            for value, label in cls.choices
        ]

This does not work, asI want the class here, and the to_json method should be in the metaclass then, but this does not work neither - what am I doing wrong?

It feels bad to redefine PERSON = 1, COMPANY = 2 as direct component attrs, this is duplication of code. Best way would be if unicorn components would support Enums, and Text/IntegerChoices, they are often used.
