No.  The numerical values stay in the .h files.  The .sym file contains 
only the names, and the gen-as-const machinery uses the compiler to 
extract the corresponding values.  The only header changes needed are to 
comments, to say that if the *set of values in the enum (etc.)* changes 
then the pretty printers should be updated.
