I think it's particularly helpful to keep in mind that, in Thrift, enumerated values are _always_ integers (`i32`), as they are in C. We don't need to design a solution...

Note that as long as we’re generating macros, we have to worry about name classes with the `meta`, `name`, and `value` functions.

I would like to add support for having the compiler task write a "manifest" that would track its generated files. That would gives us a mechanism to clean and regenerate...
