Here's how I'd type this:

  case long_enum_value_name_a: printf ("a"); break;
  c M-/ DEL b : p M-/ ("b"); b M-/
  c M-/ DEL c : p M-/ ("c"); b M-/
  c M-/ M-/ DEL d : p M-/ ("d"); b M-/

etc.  (And if the series are indeed longer than a couple of lines, a
rare case indeed, then a keyboard macro is in order.)
