Turning my previous idea on it's head a bit, you could bury a bunch of enums
inside a type:

type cust(sequence...)
enum name, addr1, addr2, ... end enum
   ...
end type

cust c
  ?c[cust:name]

What I'm saying now is the emums don't do anything to the type, but are
available as qualified subscripts.

Just an idea,
