Hrm, seems slightly icky but the enum will work if we can decide how to
add elements to the enum since it'll be easy to bloat a lot it if it's
central.  It's tempting to suggest just using a random number to assign
the IDs randomly rather than have a central registry but obviously
there's no guarantees there.
