Anyway, if you're doing arithmetic on enums you're doing it wrong. Hmm, bitwise operations, even? Those are logic, not arithmetic as usually understood. (The fact that one can do each with the other is beside the point.)
I consider those to be binary arithmetic, but it's a fair point. The word I really wanted was "comparison" anyway, since the main intended uses of enums are as flags, lookup keys and marker values.
Cheers, Nick.
