One of the problems that I see is that when your data structures get past a
certain complexity and your program reaches a certain size, defining all of those
constants gets to be tedious and since they are global they pollute the global
namespace.

That's why I kind of like an enum system and probably a dot notation system as
well, where members of a sequence specified by the dot notation aren't variables
themselves.

Hmm. That's probably not very clear but it is the best I can describe it for
now. I'm sure others will weigh in.
