 \begin{abstract}
-An enumeration is a type that defines a list of named constant values in C (and other languages).
-C and \CC use an integral type as the underlying representation of an enumeration.
-\CFA extends C enumerations to allow all basic and custom types for the inner representation.
+An enumeration is a type defining an ordered set of named constant values, where a name abstracts a value, e.g., @PI@ versus @3.145159@.
+C and \CC restrict an enumeration type to the integral type @signed int@, meaning enumeration names bind to integer constants.
+\CFA extends C enumerations to allow all basic and custom types for the enumeration type, like other modern programming languages.
+Furthermore, \CFA adds other useful features for enumerations to support better software-engineering practices and simplify program development.
 \end{abstract}
 
+\section{Background}
+
+Naming values is a common practice in mathematics and engineering, e.g., $\pi$, $\tau$ (2$\pi$), $\phi$ (golden ratio), MHz (1E6), etc.
+Naming is also commonly used to represent many other numerical phenomenon, such as days of the week, months of a year, floors of a building (basement), time (noon, New Years).
+Many programming languages capture this important capability through a mechanism called an \newterm{enumeration}.
+An enumeration is similar to other programming-language types by providing a set of constrained values, but adds the ability to name \emph{all} the values in its set.
+Note, all enumeration names must be unique but different names can represent the same value (eight note, quaver), which are synonyms.
+
+Specifically, an enumerated type is a type whose values are restricted to a fixed set of named constants.
+Fundamentally, all types are restricted to a fixed set of values because of the underlying von Neumann architecture, and hence, to a corresponding set of constants, e.g., @3@, @3.5@, @3.5+2.1i@, @'c'@, @"abc"@, etc.
+However, the values for basic types are not named, other than the programming-language supplied constants.
+

 \section{C-Style Enum}
 
-\CFA supports the C-Style enumeration using the same syntax and semantics.
+The C-Style enumeration has the following syntax and semantics.
 \begin{lstlisting}[label=lst:weekday]
-enum Weekday { Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday=10, Friday, Saturday, Sunday };
+enum Weekday { Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday@=10@, Friday, Saturday, Sunday };

     ${\rm \newterm{enumeration name}}$                                        ${\rm \newterm{enumerator names}}
 \end{lstlisting}
-The example defines an enumeration type @Weekday@ with ordered enumerators @Monday@, @Tuesday@, @Wednesday@, @Thursday@, @Friday@, @Saturday@ and @Sunday@.
+Here, the enumeration type @Weekday@ defines the ordered \newterm{enumerator}s @Monday@, @Tuesday@, @Wednesday@, @Thursday@, @Friday@, @Saturday@ and @Sunday@.
 The successor of @Tuesday@ is @Monday@ and the predecessor of @Tuesday@ is @Wednesday@.
-A C enumeration is an integral type, with consecutive enumerator values assigned by the compiler starting at zero or the next explicitly initialized value by the programmer.
-For example, @Monday@ to @Wednesday@ have values 0--2 implicitly set by the compiler, @Thursday@ is explicitly set to @10@ by the programmer, and @Friday@ to @Sunday@ have values 11--13 implicitly set by the compiler.

 \section{\CFA-Style Enum}
 
-A \CFA enumeration is parameterized by a type specifying each enumerator's type.
-\CFA allows any object type for the enumerators, and values assigned to enumerators must be from the declared type.

+\CFA also extends C-Style enumeration by adding a number of new features that bring enumerations inline with other modern programming languages.

+\subsection{Enumerator Typing}
