Thank you, this is very useful.

Let me try to ask my other question in a very concrete way:

If I have

>    type enumeration {

>      enum breen { value 2; }
>      enum glue { value 3; }

>      enum glue { value 3; }
>    }
>  }
> }

in one place, and

> typedef bar {
>  type union {
>    type enumeration {
>      enum red { value 1; }
>      enum breen { value 2; }
>      enum glue { value 3; }

>      enum sparkling { value 1; }
>      enum blinking { value 2; }
>      enum steady { value 3; }
>    }
>  }
> }

in another place, is the value “red” between the two types referring to the “same thing”?

If there were a typedef for the two anonymous enumerations that both look the same, as in

  typedef color {
>    type enumeration {
>      enum red { value 1; }
>      enum breen { value 2; }
>      enum glue { value 3; }
>    }
  }

and that typedef being referenced from both unions instead of copy-pasting it, would that change the answer?
