Why TS does not use characters for enumerations

Question

ES6 characters are great for enumerations as they avoid collisions. I want the TS type to enumuse characters for enumerations if target:'es6', but it is not:

enum Role {Employee, Manager, Admin}
let role: Role = Role.Employee;

translates to

var Role;
(function (Role) {
    Role[Role["Employee"] = 0] = "Employee";
    Role[Role["Manager"] = 1] = "Manager";
    Role[Role["Admin"] = 2] = "Admin";
})(Role || (Role = {}));
let role = Role.Employee;

any ideas why? With this approach, Role.Employeedoes it matter 0and can any other enumeration with a value 0be used instead Role.Employeeat runtime?
