It is not necessary to use keywords like for the named enums, because

I don't really think of C's enum that way. If I want constants, I use
#define (and defconstant in CL). If I want to represent some sort of
entity or concept I use an enum (and symbols in CL). For example:
#define MAX_COUNT 127
(defconstant +max-count+ 127)
vs.
enum {
RED,
BLUE
};
:red, :blue (or 'red, 'blue)
I suppose defcenum shouldn't force the user to use keywords though?
