Having a local enum type is illegal. We support this, but we fail with a syntax
error.
Syntax error on token "enum", interface expected

We suggest interface to be a replacement, but in fact local interfaces are also
illegal. So I would suggest to treat local enums like local interfaces. This
would make it more consistent.

Same treatment should be done for local annotation types.
