-Declaring variables as '[static] const' gives variables an actual type and
-makes the compiler do type checking for you; the preprocessor does _no_ type
-checking whatsoever, making it much more error prone. Declaring variables with
-'[static] const' also makes debugging programs much easier since the value of
-the variable can be easily queried and displayed.
+Although enum may look ugly to some people, it is better for code size.
+With "const int" compiler may fail to optimize it out and will reserve
+a real storage in rodata for it! (Hopefully, newer gcc will get better
+at it...). With "define", you have slight risk of polluting namespace
+(#define doesn't allow you to redefine the name in the inner scopes),
+and complex "define" are evaluated each time they uesd, not once
+at declarations like enums. Also, the preprocessor does _no_ type checking
+whatsoever, making it much more error prone.
