Provide an interface that can resolve a role name from a class instance, to be used as public method parameter type

[adameier]

In my current situation, I would like to use the https://github.com/spatie/laravel-enum/ package for managing the names of the roles used in my application for easier refactoring, user-facing role labels, general IDE benefits, etc.

However, for all the methods provided by the HasRoles trait or the Role class (as an example), I either have to do something like

$user->assignRole(RoleName::EDUCATOR()->value, RoleName::ADMIN()->value)

or I have to override the method and make a call to the parent method using the above technique.

This approach would be much easier if there was an interface which is included as these public methods' parameter type, to resolve the Role name (a single method returning a string would suffice) from an implementing class (or native php Enum once 8.1 comes around).
