I did not open this conversation.

And if you read my posts correctly, I was very explicit about 
*not* advocating for a change.

I was just putting forth my reasoning as to why I thought, that 
the tool for defining a type should not be the tool for defining 
a value.

In C#, I get a guaranteed compile time constant doing:

public const double VAL = 0.2;

I find that semantically more cleaner than using an enum type.

That is really all I'm saying. Agree or disagree.. I couldn't 
give a flying %$ff ;-)
