That would mean the Java code would require more "qualifiers" than the associated C code, but with some better separation. Would something like that be enough? Or do you really need these constants to be enum constants (e.g. because you use them in exhaustive switches etc.) ?

Thanks @mcimadamore for your feedback. Yes, if we can at least group related enum constants together under a separate generated class, that will be awesome. Would it be okay if I update this PR to have this change? Please let me know. Thanks!
