But seeing as it's going to be a common thing to do, why not
make it the default?
When defining an enum, often you don't *care* what the
underlying values are, so assigning sequential natural numbers
is as good a default as any.
In fact, with the Pascal concept of an enumerated type you
don't get any choice in the matter. It's only in the C family
that you get this bastardised conflation of enumerations with
arbitrary named constants...
