Your class is similar to an EnumSet in terms of its Generics. So I
had a peek at how EnumSet does this

public abstract class EnumSet<E extends Enum<E>> extends
AbstractSet<E>
implements Cloneable, java.io.Serializable

This would allow the OP to eliminate the illegal "T.values()" expression and
just call "values()".

I changed "Foo<T extends Enum>" to "Foo<T extends Enum<T>>" but get
the same error.
I also changed T.values() to just values() but that results in a
compile error
saying it cannot find the method values().
