It's mostly just a habit, but in general there are advantages to
using enum vs. a define.  You are assured that the scope is kept local,
even if you are uncreative with your name choices, whereas with a macro 
it is not.  Also it's sometimes easier to debug with an enum vs. a macro.  
I can certainly change it if you really want me too.
