I haven't used enum much outside the standard library, but my C/C++
background would push me towards CAP_WORDS since they're constants.

That also has the virtue of making the standard library uses no longer
a special case - they're just CAP_WORDS-because-they're-constants,
rather than CAP_WORDS-because-they're-defined-by-a-third-party-C-API

Cheers,
Nick.
