We're going to have to get someone to work-around the duplicate
identifiers problem too.  But as it turns out with my case above, I
ran into another problem.  Identically named enums types didn't
compile b/c they themselves were duplicated.  I revised my code to
employ nested consts instead of enums, this way I was able to group
and simulate enums.
