Hmm, no mixed enums there. Let's see:

constant DAY=enum(),
		 MONTH=enum(),
		Apr=next(MONTH),
		Aug=next(MONTH),
		Dec=next(MONTH),
		Feb=next(MONTH),
		Friday=next(DAY),
		Jan=next(MONTH),
		Jul=next(MONTH),
		Jun=next(MONTH),
		Mar=next(MONTH),
		Monday=next(DAY),
		Nov=next(MONTH),
		Oct=next(MONTH),
		Saturday=next(DAY),
		Sep=next(MONTH),
		Sunday=next(DAY),
		Thursday=next(DAY),
		Tuesday=next(DAY),
		Wednesday=next(DAY),

Does that look sensible to you?
Do you have any example of using mixed enums?

Actually, in my last post I was not even suggesting changing that
functionality, just the names. But now I see even that simple code as
quite unnecessarily over complicated.
