That is the *least* important part of enums. I stopped following the -ideas threads about enums, but IIRC autogeneration of values was in quite a few of the specs early on. So you can probably find the arguments against it in the list archives. FWIW, though, I do like C's autogeneration of enum values - but use it in only a small proportion of my enums. It's not a terrible loss, but it is a loss. ChrisA
