Indeed. scope enum would make much more sense.
scope enum sounds a lot better for me than static enum or even
__local. The __ words looks a little bit like compiler magic as the __
words are reserved for the compiler.

To be honest, using enum as "compile-time variable" is magic enough.
Enum should be reserved for enumerations. But I guess it's one of those
things that is too late to change.
An enum is some sort of constant. As long as something like scope enum
remains a constant and not an actual variable that can be modified, then
I think that it is ok naming-wise.
Of course the manifest enum's that you're referring to is a remnant of
#define in C. So it sort of makes sense and a little not at the same
time. Tis' weird.
