This is because the enum declaration creates its own namespace. This is so
you can disambiguate between different 'NINE' definitions...


 enum Card { NINE = 0, JACK = 2, QUEEN = 3, KING= 4, TEN = 10, ACE = 11 }
 enum Pin  { ONE = 1, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE }
 void main()
 {
 Card MyCard;
 Pin MyPins;
 MyCard = Card.NINE;
 MyPins = Pin.NINE;
 }
