You would not gain any safety with that, it seems to me both approaches
are more-less equivalent so I would not bother with the changes. There
is a possibility to define an "enumeration" class and overload useful
operators, but this would introduce unnecessary bloat, my opinion it is
not worth the effort. Typesafety helps but does not assure that your
construct is correct, ie what would be the meaning
(assuming the result would be of correct type) of
FL_ALIGN_LEFT|FL_ALIGN_RIGHT ?
