Ah, the old "names have been changed to protect the constants"
routine, eh..

A common idiom is just to use symbols, either directly:

   window.setStack(:TOP)

or via constants

  TOP    = :TOP
  BOTTOM = :BOTTOM

This doesn't work if you want to do or-ing and such, but for the kinds 
on enums you're describing it seems to be just fine.

ps. Any idea on my swig problem with static structs?
