Re: question about enum

I suppose, but I wonder how useful it is. From what I've read of the C#
team's rationale for including / not including features within the
language, their philosophy is one of economy: don't include something
unless it's useful.

Declaring an enum type that has the scope of only one method seems like
a dodgy thing to do, at least to me. :) It looks like a whole lot of
set-up for little gain, and that's probably why it was omitted from C#.
