I got a better idea:  Since we're using an object-oriented language, why 
not use objects?

synthdrivers.Generic.Checksum
synthdrivers.Boss.DRChecksum
synthdrivers.Casio.CZ1000.Driver implements Checksum

This way if a new checksum is developed, noone needs to go edit the 
existing code base, nor twiddle the double-indirection constants, nor 
edit documentation in multiple places (source, Wiki).
