+1 to transitivity within an enumeration. -1 to transitivity across
enumerations. If they're supposed to be equivalent, why are you
separating them into different enumerations at all?

The whole point of an enumeration, as I see it, is to have a set of
values that are only meaningfully equal or sequenced within that
enumeration.
