It is never necessary to use BOOST_PP_ENUM_z instead of BOOST_PP_ENUM.
It is only helpful, in the sense of being faster, if you use
BOOST_PP_ENUM_z instead of BOOST_PP_ENUM from within in a pp-lib ternary
macro of the form macro(z, n, data), where you can use the z parameter
to call it using BOOST_PP_ENUM_ ## z(parameters).
