So since that just came to my mind, how about using the

How about just using MAX the way a maximum is defined?
MAX is just ambiguous.
- the maximum /number/ [i.e. counting things] of something or
- the maximum [array index] /value/
and apparently noone encoded the intent of MAX into their
constant's name when writing it.
Well, I'm sick of this discussion. MAX is the highest value,
NUM is the number of items. I'm aware that people seem to
have problems understanding this, but that is no reason
to further the confusion.
BTW, these values *do* need to be exported to userspace
for nfnetlink.
