Okay, so should I make any documentation changes at this time? I'm
assuming that I would be getting ahead of things to do a search & replace
on, say
s/ENUMERAL_TYPE/ENUMERATED_TYPE/
since that's clearly being used as meaningful code in the text.
On the other hand, would it be fair to replace the instances of the term
'enumeral' in the prose? I count seven such references: four use the term
"enumeral type", two use "enumeral value", and one uses "enumeral class."
It looks like it may be safe to change them all, if I understand you
correctly and people will know that the terms are semi-interchangeable.
