because we want it to appear translated on the screen, that's why! The C
code is supposed to use the enum value, which is chomped by the
pre-processor or (no, Cyrille, not the pre-processor) by the first
stages of the lexer/parser.
Lars' suggestion of doing a temporary switch to locale "C" is
interesting. I would keep the numeric value as well (as I said, having
both will not hurt thanks to compression, and may ease scripting, for
sure).
