I wondered if anyone else thought this was a good idea: 

enum xx_one, 
     xx_two, 
     xx_max=$ 
?xx_one 
?xx_two 
?xx_max

should print 1 2 2

Something like this has been discussed. I think what we will eventually come up with are various 'properties' of an enum. Something along the lines of ... 

enum as xx 
    A = 5, 
    B = 1, 
    C = -1, 
    D = 3 
? xx:A 
? xx:B 
? xx.max 
? xx.min 
? xx.range 
? xx.last 
? xx.first 
? xx.count

And this should print as 5 1 5 -1 7 3 5 4

However, much more discussion is required before anything further like this will be implemented.
