Give me some time Patrick, will try. Actually initial idea
of these macros was to eliminate 'possible' problems caused
by for (;;) form (enum could be rearranged and we will fail
silently). So I guess the some 'new' form of template would
help (instead of current "ctrl table as a templae"). So
will return with new proposal. Thanks for review!
