It may have been appropriate and useful if you gave us the benefit of the
doubt and wouldn't assume we are oblivious to the possibility of such an
approach. Hint: it had seen probably at least 100 emails of discussion in
this list (months back). Yes, it's way more fun to write flamy rants and
new code than digging in mailing list archives; yet, language design often
requires much of the latter as well.

Other than that, it's perfectly fine to have alternative enum proposals out
in the wild. I sincerely wish you well in the sense that if someone doesn't
like the stdlib enum and wants to use something like your bnum, they will
find it online and will happily use it.
