Detailed Description

Note: Please do not use or modify any data or functions with a leading underscore.

If you "mess" with the internal structure, the classes may not function as intended.

Similar to C++'s 'enum', but with a few extra toys.  Takes a
string with spaces in between the different 'enum' names (keys).
If 'asInt' is true, then values will be integers (useful for array
indicies).  Once created, the enum values can not be changed.
