Metapost device driver

Hi All,
I've started work on a MetaPost device driver (please don't hold your
breath) and have one question about a magic number, see below.
I've copied the XFig driver and renamed everything and this works, I can
open the new metapost() and it works exactly like the xfig
driver. Now all I have to do is the actual work!
There is a magic number in ExtEntries as follows:
static const R_ExternalMethodDef ExtEntries[] = {
EXTDEF(PicTeX, 6),
EXTDEF(PostScript, 16), EXTDEF(XFig, 11),
EXTDEF(MetaPost, 12), /* Is 12 is OK */
EXTDEF(PDF, 13),
I just picked 12, is this Ok, or does it have some special significance?
You seem to have missed the 2nd part of Brian's reply: Yes, it is significant, and not magic: it's the argument count.
