I have two questions about the enum. First, is there some sort of
naming convention that should be used to avoid future clashes with
public definitions (headers)? For example, I know that using all-caps
for enum values is common, but that can easily conflict with future
public macros or the like, so I personally dislike it. Of course, the
Windows API doesn't really use underscores like this_is_an_enum_value
for its public definitions, so maybe I should go with that approach?
(e.g. noautoappend_displayall as enum value? or some other naming
scheme?). Basically I'm asking how to best make the enum "private" for
internal linkage purposes in terms of naming convention.

Second question is, how should I tell the enum that any value other
than zero is "no auto append", including the "displayall" part? (to
simplify the code checks since it implies it) For example currently i
just check if it's FALSE, because both TRUE and 2 means "don't auto
append" (while 2 further means displayall at the beginning). How to
best proceed with an enum there? Maybe I should use a short helper
function with the enum as parameter that returns BOOL whether it
should auto-append or not?
