My little enumkit tool allows you to create enumerations today very

Andrew,
Your enum sounds good, apart from the hardcoded/compilation thing. That
is a data management nightmare AFAICS and so restricts the usefulness of
the solution.
Simon, Tom Dunstan has submitted a patch for first class enum types that
do not have the compilation requirement - it's in the queue for 8.3. You
might want to review that.
cheers
