p.s. By the way, sometimes people don't want the minimum number
of bits. For example, sometimes instead a one-hot encoding, as --

     localparam [3:0] RED = 4'b0001 ;
     localparam [3:0] GREEN = 4'b0010 ;
     localparam [3:0] BLUE = 4'b0100 ;
     localparam [3:0] YELLOW = 4'b1000 ;

or
     enum [3:0] {RED = 4'b0001,
                 GREEN = 4'b0010,
                 BLUE = 4'b0100,
                 YELLOW = 4'b1000 } ;
