Probably we should not mess with the "well known" (hah;-) name space for
C-states themselves (C0...Cn).

Types, on the other hand, would probably be well addressed with a enum
whose vales are 1,2,3 so if we chose to print them out they'd simply be
a %d -- using C%d only for actual C-states themselves.

would that be better?
