I have to disagree. Mathematically speaking the topological dimension is a counting number (e.g. in the set {0,1,2,...}. I don't see any reason why this shouldn't be represented as an integer value (and plenty of reasons why it should - e.g. ordering, comparison, etc)

Maybe strk is right, and this should be changed to an enum. Perhaps the enum could be defined as

XY = 2
XYZ = 3
XYZM = 4
XYM = 5 ?

My enum suggestion was for the spatial dimension, not coordinate dimension.
PUNTUAL/LINEAL/AREAL kind of enum.
