My mail is screwed up, I see Rob's reply to Steve but didn't see Steve's
original.

Steve, I couldn't agree more, you are 100% right, this is how it should
work.  I wanted to like enums because I naively thought they'd have these
semantics but then learned they really aren't any different than a well
managed list of #defines.

IMHO, without your semantics, enums are pretty useless, #define is good
enough and more clear.
