Canonical FHIR Resource Enum #240

Is there a canonical enum representing the available FHIR resource types? I couldn't find it. Are implementers expected to roll their own lists? e.g. "Patient", "Practitioner", "PractitionerRole", ... and so on. Seems error-prone vs having a canonical enum from the protos.

Thank you.

I think https://github.com/google/fhir/blob/master/proto/google/fhir/proto/r4/core/codes.proto#L3153 is a pretty good bet (assuming R4). This corresponds to the FHIR code system http://hl7.org/fhir/resource-types - which, bizarrely, I can't find on the fhir documentation, presumably because it was replaced in R5 with the valueset https://hl7.org/fhir/valueset-all-resource-types.html
