"Worth"? I'm always tempted to assess the "worth" of a project by how
ugly what it would fix is... :) I think that global variable is
really terrible. And as the Modula-2 example showed, the change is
getting propagated around.
Given that C99 specifies that enum values are ints, would it make
sense to always print enum values specially if the the enum type's
size is not equal to that of builtin_type_int?
