Bob says

<<But to say that enums are *never* a good idea seems silly.  For example,
consider type Character, which is an enumeration type.>>


YOu mean that you don't see that Character is obviously a class, and
specific characters like 'C' '+' '+' are simply objects of that class
to which messages should be sent as required.

Gosh some people don't understand what programming is all about
