 Martin, re-assigning to you;  Can you look at this issue?

+It looks like we need a special runtime call to do this cleanly. in
+encode_cattr_value, we specially handle enum objects. I think we need
+an `enum wrapper' for dynamic enums. Eg, we have a type like:
+
+internal class EnumWrapper {
+      object value;
+      Type type;
+
+      public object GetWrapper (object value, Type t);
+}
+
+Then the runtime can handle this method and print out the name of the
+new type, even though it has not been compiled yet.

+Interestingly, JSC.net throws an exception when it compiles a boxed enum.
