Thanks for that review. I think following up on the "NamedConstant"
idea may make more sense than pursuing enums in their own right. That
way we could get the debugging benefits on the Python side regardless
of any type constraints on the value (e.g. needing to be an integer in
order to interface to C code), without needing to design an enum API
that suited all purposes.

Cheers,
Nick.
