I'd rather not do that. I use *numeric* values on purpose, because
that's what the DT *binding* describes, and I have no control over
what lives in that include file (it gets changed without me being even
Cc'd).
So I want to stick to the binding, and not to the interpretation of
it. If you want symbolic values to be used, describe them in the
binding, have a tool to generate the values from the binding, and use
that everywhere.
Thanks,
M.
