Ah, thanks for the insight. Now I understand the enum thing. I don't
know how severe would this punishment be, but I trust others in this
thread.

Then I suspect the current approach is fine in that regard, and
probably maintaining the build out of tree (or other means) is better
than upstreaming the changes.

Right now, the binary is usable, but I have stumbled into some issues
(e.g. no file modification support, so Helm is slightly impeded). As I
mentioned somewhere else in the thread, an out-of-tree solution meets
my needs. Still, I'd like to bait someone more knowledgeable that sees
this as a useful feature to help :)

(Of course, someone with those skills is likely to not mind building
Emacs. But I still think this might be a nice way for some novices like
me to get the latest Emacs in an easy to use manner.)

Cheers,
