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! :-)
