Re: [Alephmodular-devel] Enum versus class?

[Br'fin <br...@ma...>]

In the end, the verdict on comp.lang.c++ was generally overblown, and I 
settled back to simply using an enum. However, temporary period with 
the class was useful. As it meant for a time I was in complete control 
of what could and couldn't be checked against the enum.

The compiler helped point out the places in the code that really really 
needed to be updated. And most things just worked after backing out to 
a simple enum.
