Peter, libapr identifies buckets only by their name. How do you suggest 
that we manage their numerical values? A new bucket type can be added any 
moment and we won't have an ID for it. APR::Const only provides a glue for 
the existing libapr's C-level constants. If you want a change of this 
kind, you will have to ensure that libapr provides that ID first and mp2 
will follow.
