Then you cannot write forward compatible code without creating
lots of unused enum values, but I guess that is a reasonable
tradeoff.
And I expect that enums get used so frequently in other ways
primarily due to
the fact that C's enums are so weakly typed.
No, it was recommended as a better way to create integer
constants than #define. Older codebases use #define more.
