True, but complaining about C for lack of enumeration
*types* is a legitimate complaint. The named constants
provided by C are an inadequate substitute. Enumeration
types are an important abstraction, and their absence
from C is a significant missing capability.
Calling something an enum does not make it an enumeration
type!
