That's what the '(almost)' should indicate. The problem is it complicates handling more than what's worth (dozens of lines just to wrap "some integer value"). It's not nice anyway... Of course, having plain magic integers hanging around is not nice either, and neither is using strings or const char[]... I really do not know what is best myself, I just did not want the "change it to an enum" with an implied "that's better" stand uncommented.
