There are quite a few places in our code where we have to convert from a string to an int enumeration, and vica-verca. This is tedious code to write, and I'm about to introduce a tonne more enumerations in the new generic domain XML parser / generator. So I reckon its time for some helper APIs ...
Very nice. That's been annoying me for some time. ACK

If using an unsigned type (size_t or unsigned int) doesn't cause too much disruption among the callers, that'd be nice, since negative "ntypes" is not useful.
+ const char *type) +{ + int i;
matching type here, too. ACK, either way.
