Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Trace the C++ enum handling and C# declaration generation for a single-member anonymous enum, then verify that the generated output is a public constant rather than an enum type.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

For example:

enum { Type = 3 };

now becomes:

enum Type { Type = 3};

Instead we'd better have:

public const int Type = 3;
