A heap of #define'd numbers offer exactly no improvement over an enum 
--- they'ld actually be worse.

The issue is not how they're defined, the issue is which parts of the 
programs know about, and use them.  The terminal API shouldn't have to 
know about the meanings of individual layers' designators.
