ugly as hell :D but yeah, it kind of works...

I decided myself to this design. Would be nice though to have some kind
of namespace seperation.

I have an Idea and would like to know your thoughts about this:

so giving them tuples (or a dict) with predefined values? This means
that you can pass constant values and names to it. You can check the
nrbits and everything else while creating the enum. I find this is an
quite elegant solution. What do you thinK?
