ENUMs do seem to have some advantages in convenience though.  And
providing them or something closely comparable would ease porting
from MySQL ... which is an important consideration in our plan for
world domination ;-)

In short I wouldn't object to having this on the TODO list.  It's just
not real high priority in my mind.
