The purpose of this rule is to avoid having illegible function calls  
like doSomething(myData, true, 0, false, true). If a function is  
always called with a named variable, there is no practical reason to  
invent an enum for it.

As an aside, is there any practical difference between "static const"  
and "const" in C++? The only difference I'm aware of is that the  
former is deprecated in the standard.

It doesn't look like there's a prevailing style for this currently.
