Oh, cool.
Probably going to replace w/ an enum, which does seem to work.
But it does make 0 sense to me that const int is forbidden, but enum is
allowed...

Can rewrite both const int and enum, so I don't really see why enum is
permitted but const int isn't, they both offer
about the same amount of safety.

I mean, might as well just force #define only. (please don't!)
