Agreed. There doesn't seem to be any reason to go to an enum. If you
need additional information besides a pointer to the handling function,
you can use a pointer to a struct containing the additional info as well
as a pointer to the handling function.
I essentially do that, although I "point to" MUD code rather than
native code.
