Its not really adding a new meaning, enum already (somtimes) 
means "do this at compile time", that's really the problem, that 
usage of enum has literally nothing to do with enumeration. It's 
like we've run out of English words so we have to use "count" any 
time we want to say "now".

Using enum to mean "compile time" or "manifest constant" should 
be depreciated in favour of a keyword that actually at least 
vaguely relates to those meanings.
