FWIW, since that last discussion, I've switched to using strings for my special constants, dumping them in a container if I need some kind of easy validity checking or iteration. That said, an enum type may still be useful for interoperability with other systems (databases, C APIs, etc). Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia
