reading yet once i dont know what you want

i guess you maybe say what i understand as kinda "micro dictionary"

i mean say 32 bits of enum offes space to give some section for
"keys" and some section for "values" (for example upper 8 bits
for keys 1-255 enumized or not - and 24 bits for values - also enumized
or not...such microdictionary is good idea..i guess people
sometimes use it but in fact enum statement dont support it afair

though as i said the form of defining it

enum
{
   AJHJH
    {
      KJHZ,
      HJKJHG,
      HJHJH,
    }
   AJJHKJH
    {
      KJHZ,
      HJKJHG,
      HJHJH,
    }

}

may be probably bad becouse you want to have 2 keys so
it should be more like

enum A:shbshb
enum B:shbshbskjs
enum B:shbshbjskj
enum A:B:shbshbskjs
