Nameless enums are rather bad practice, as they partially defeat one of
the purposes (i.e. type-checking) of enums.  Why not just use a #define?

>printf("B: "); for(i=-imax;i<imax;i++) printf("%d ",i); printf("\n");}
>printf("B: "); for(i=-imax;;i++) {printf("%d ",i); break;} printf("\n");}

Do you need both to add the break and to remove the upper bound to get
things to work the way you want?
