In 964d5f4d69 I changed most names as you suggested.
The original TMaskOpCode is now TMaskParsedCode because it is not related
to the other enums directly.
I did the changes before reading your last mail.
I remember many enums actually are class internals in José's original code
(in GitHub). I moved them outside to create the constants more easily.
Maybe they can be moved back to a class. You can experiment with it.
You can rename other stuff, too, if you like. I will not touch it for a
while now.
