  enum "This is also legal";

9.6.4.  The "enum" Statement

   The "enum" statement, which is a substatement to the "type"
   statement, MUST be present if the type is "enumeration".  It is
   repeatedly used to specify each assigned name of an enumeration type.
   It takes as an argument a string that is the assigned name.  *The
   string MUST NOT be zero-length and MUST NOT have any leading or
   trailing whitespace characters* (any Unicode character with the
   "White_Space" property).  The use of Unicode control codes SHOULD be
   avoided.
