 One of the things I like about Pascal (Yes I *definitely* do like
Pascal) is its handling of enumerated scalar types (and subranges thereof)
I could find true happiness and fulfilment if C would handle
enums the same way - right now the approach seems to be muddled
and schizophrenic. Imagine, with the power C has to be able to
increase its readiblity (which it hasn't) by allowing TRUE array
indexing with enums( 'twould be paradise enow)
