You don't want to define Active this way.  Better to define Active as a
constant.  This prevents you or the compiler from changing what Active
means.  Someone later might decide to change the value of Active to
indicate inactive.  Oh boy, that would be confusing.  If Active means
A(active) force it to *always* be A.
