💻 Code

enum Foo {
  ['A'] = 1
}

🙁 Actual behavior

"use strict";
var Foo;
(function (Foo) {
    Foo[Foo['A'] = 1] = 'A';
})(Foo || (Foo = {}));

🙂 Expected behavior

When using

enum Foo {
  [A] = 1
}

it emits error

Computed property names are not allowed in enums.

Should we forbid computed strings as well?
