I recommend using strings as the base type for things like this, rather
than ints. There is no need to use ints, just because that's what C uses.

No. Go does not have enum types.

You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups
"golang-nuts" group.
To unsubscribe from this group and
I often create small multi-value flag types, e.g.
```go
type mode uint8
const (
argMode mode = iota
baseMode
cmdMode
)
```
The problem is that if I write, say, `m := baseMode`, although `m` has the
correct type (`mode`), there is no way to constrain its values to the
consts I've declared.
