Comment:

 this would make binary archives larger for every user of the library.  And
 also require code to recognise old archives.  All in all just not worth
 it.  Try something like

 enum {
  epAvgCpu
 ...
 }
 const int_64 lookup_table[] = {
 0x10000000l
 ...

 and use

 lookup_table[epAvgCpu instead of epAvgCpu.
