Why can't OrdinalHyperparameter have weights?

[mh415-f]

I was wondering why an OrdinalHyperparameter can't have weights for the values in sequence. I saw the hint in the docs about hyperparameters, but don't understand yet why. Is this technically possible and just not implemented yet or would there be a fundamental problem with weights for the values of a OrdinalHyperparameter?

The answer is pretty simple - no one has requested this so far. I don't see any fundamental problem with this, and we would be very happy about a PR adding this.

This is possible and I imagine this would have an identical behaviour to a categorical.
Right now the weights are only used when sampling values and for no other reason. Given the order implied by an Ordinal does not influence sampling, this can be done.
