In Apple's frameworks, in particular the Objective-C frameworks, they 
define enums like this:

typedef NS_ENUM(int, MKAnnotationViewDragState)
{
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateNone = 0,
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateStarting,
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateDragging,
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateCanceling,
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateEnding
}

Where NS_ENUM expands, in the above case, to:

typedef int MKAnnotationViewDragState; enum
{
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateNone = 0,
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateStarting,
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateDragging,
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateCanceling,
     MKAnnotationViewDragStateEnding
}

Probably makes it easier to present a nice interface in Swift.
