Can't ignore a compiler error... I've been very tempted several times to enum the errno values, too, given all the code I've seen that makes assumptions about what errno values can be returned by what system call; doing that would tend to break all such switch statements that did not have a "default:" clause because there weren't expecting some error that got returned anyway (e.g. such as from a filesystem KEXT, etc.).
