Well, as someone coming to enums from a C/C++ background, element is
the last thing I would have thought. _My_ scale of intuitiveness is:
1) label (my normal vocabulary when talking about enums)
2) identifier [constant] (when talking spec-type jargon)
Never have I thought of the enum label as either a "value", or an
"element". That's not to say anyone else hasn't thought of them
differently. Obvously ;-)
