Description

The current code contains information about each specific curve spread among several methods, lists, maps, etc, with inconsistent behavior (e.g., some methods throw an exception if no matching curve found, others return nulll). By using enum(s) we will consolidate the information for each curve into its relevant constant body, and also facilitate adding new curves in the future.
