What is also cool (appologies for the awful variable names):
#define CURRENTNUM 100
enum oz {
sweet=CURRENTNUM,
bilabong,
bruce,
sheila,
bonza
};
#undef CURRENTNUM
#define CURRENTNUM roo
enum scots {
wee=CURRENTNUM,
loch,
galoot,
spangle,
grand
};
#undef CURRENTNUM
#define CURRENTNUM grand
so you can add in extra elements anywhere you want, and all the other numbers shuffle about to make room. Death to hardcoded numbers! :-)
