An enum is some sort of constant. As long as something like scope enum 
remains a constant and not an actual variable that can be modified, then 
I think that it is ok naming-wise.

Of course the manifest enum's that you're referring to is a remnant of 
#define in C. So it sort of makes sense and a little not at the same 
time. Tis' weird.
