That too. They're just conveniently-named integers.

I far prefer Java's enums, which are basically a full-blown class (with 
member variables and static and instance functions and everything), but with 
all valid instances of the class being declared in the enum at program 
start-up time. So, basically, a full class plus a bunch of "static BLAH = 
new ..." sorts of operations.
