RFR: Generate Java enums

[David Alayachew]

No, because ordinal returns 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc for each subsequent
value. Whereas, it sounds like you need it to return 1, 2, 4, 8, etc. You
could do the transformation yourself, of course.

But if that doesn't work, maybe come at this from the opposite direction?

What, in Java, gives you this OR-like functionality for enums? EnumSet!
Maybe the better answer would be to have some way to return a long or
long[] from an EnumSet to represent the included values?
