I don't think that numerical enumerations are the only kind of constants we're talking about. Others have already mentioned strings. Also, see <http://tm.tl/4671> for some other use-cases. Since this isn't coming to 2.x, we're probably going to do our own thing anyway (unless it turns out that flufl.enum is so great that we want to add another dependency...) but I'm hoping that the outcome of this discussion will point to something we can be compatible with.
