    Hi, if I'm being boneheaded about something please hurry to tell me.
Aren't enums supposed to be distinct types, with their element names
overloaded?

// file- tenum.cpp - combines tenum.cpp with tenum.h
enum definiteAnswer{ no, yes};
enum anyAnswer{ no, yes, maybe};
int main(int,char**)
{
    definiteAnswer A;
    anyAnswer B;
    return 0;
}

Why does gcc think I'm trying to redeclare global `0' and `1'?
I think that this is pretty wrong, but I dont see how it could have been
missed.

Thanks,
