This is the easiest solution.

Maybe we can improve that enums a bit? I see that compiler gives no way 
to traverse such enums. If you have no info about such type you can't 
work with it properly: succ, pred, inc, dec don't work as expected, 
typeinfo is not present. I think that maybe at least for-in loop can 
work for them :)

You and Florian as well as my left and right cerebral hemispheres give 
me completely different directions. Therefore I stay with the same 
question. I will wait for more opinions.
