    10 \CFA extends the C enumeration declaration \see{\VRef{s:CEnumeration}} by parameterizing with a type (like a generic type), and adding Plan-9 inheritance \see{\VRef{s:EnumerationInheritance}} using an @inline@ to another enumeration type.

    2828\CFA enumerations have access to the three enumerations properties \see{\VRef{s:Terminology}}: label, order (position), and value via three overloaded functions @label@, @posn@, and @value@ \see{\VRef{c:trait} for details}.

    45 Finally, there is an additional enumeration routine @countof@ (like @sizeof@, @typeof@) that returns the number of enumerators in an enumeration.
    46 \begin{cfa}
    47 enum(int) E { A, B, C, D };
    48 countof( E );  // 4
    49 \end{cfa}
    50 This auto-generated function replaces the C idiom for automatically computing the number of enumerators \see{\VRef{s:Usage}}.
     45Finally, there is an additional enumeration pseudo-function @countof@ (like @sizeof@, @typeof@) that returns the number of enumerators in an enumeration.

     200\section{Subset}
     201
     202An enumeration's type can be another enumeration.
     203\begin{cfa}
     204enum( char ) Letter { A = 'A', ... };
     205enum( @Letter@ ) Greek { Alph = A, Beta = B, ... }; // alphabet intersection
     206\end{cfa}
     207Enumeration @Greek@ may have more or less enums than @Letter@, but the enum values \emph{must} be from @Letter@.
     208Therefore, @Greek@ enums are a subset of type @Letter@ and are type compatible with enumeration @Letter@, but @Letter@ enums are not type compatible with enumeration @Greek@.

     211\section{Inheritance}
     212\label{s:CFAInheritance}
    201213
    202214\CFA Plan-9 inheritance may be used with \CFA enumerations, where Plan-9 inheritance is containment inheritance with implicit unscoping (like a nested unnamed @struct@/@union@ in C).
    203215Containment is nominative: an enumeration inherits all enumerators from another enumeration by declaring an @inline statement@ in its enumerator lists.
    204216\begin{cfa}
    205 enum( char * ) Names { /* $\see{\VRef[Figure]{s:EnumerationInheritance}}$ */ };
     217enum( char * ) Names { /* $\see{\VRef[Figure]{f:EumeratorTyping}}$ */ };
    206218enum( char * ) Names2 { @inline Names@, Jack = "JACK", Jill = "JILL" };
    207219enum( char * ) Names3 { @inline Names2@, Sue = "SUE", Tom = "TOM" };
