What about adding simple syntax (I proposed this earlier, but no one commented) that take care of assigning name and module, something like: def name = expression which would be rough equivalent for: name = expression name.name = 'name' name.module = name How is that different from --> name = Enum('module.name', ... )

With the repetition, you're setting yourself up for bugs in future maintenance when either the module name or the assigned name change.

I like Piotr's suggestion of simply assigning to name and module after the fact, though - much simpler than my naming context idea.

Cheers, Nick.
