...etc.

Rest and reflection tell me I was applying the C++ change for struct to
enum. What i was trying to do should look more like this:

struct definiteAnswer{
    enum dA{no,yes};
    dA answer;
};

struct anyAnswer{
    enum aA{no,yes,maybe};
    aA answer;
};

...and so on.

Boneheadedness is easier to fix than bugs ;)
