Hmm, I don't like static calls either. In this case it is because I had to do a static call in `configure` to get the enum description because you cannot access the Helpers in `configure` because its called directly after the `_construct`.

Here I guess I am just being consistent, static method to access static variables.

I would like to think there is a better solution than this - we could change it to a helper call, but I am not fussed either way.
