I think that in practice Anthony is asking you only to write the 
stringified enum name (e.g. "QEMU_ERROR_NODEV"), instead of the enum 
value (i.e. 2). :-)

I agree about what the immediate needs are.  On the other hand, making 
things too complicated to extend later is not a good idea...

Paolo, who's amazed at the amount of design changes that went into QEMU 
since last June...
