     C's enum is not of much use, I'll agree: It's only an int
with lipstick, plus just enough mystery to be alluring before
one gets to know it better.  I wouldn't recommend enum as a
substitute for the kind of "coinst" you desire, even if it can
sometimes be put to that use.

     But where's the case that `#define table_max 4096' is
inferior to "coinst"?  So far, the *only* reason that's been
put forward is "fir doesn't like it."  Somehow, "I don't like
it, therefore it's stupid" doesn't sound like the sort of
proof Euclid would be proud of.

     In the very earliest days of C, the preprocessor was in
truth a separate entity.  It didn't exist until about 1972-3,
and for a while the early compilers didn't even run it on
source files that didn't appear to use it.  But its integration
into the language did not take long: by 1978 we find K&R saying
"The C compiler *contains* [emphasis mine] a preprocessor" (p. 207),
not "Hey, there's this extra tool you can use if you like."

     If you've been doing the arithmetic, you'll see that the
preprocessor is at most forty years old and that C's inventor
considered it as contained in the compiler as of at least
thirty-four years ago.  Since the preprocessor has been part
of the language for at least eighty-five percent of its entire
existence, the assertion that it should be thought of as "some
external tool" cannot be taken seriously.

     The preprocessor is a full-fledged part of the language,
and provides the solution to your problem.  Just use it!
