My computer has a bluetooth device which uses the default Windows 7 driver stack. When the 'Generic Bluetooth Adapter' device is activated in the device manager, a device named 'Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator' appears next to it.
What is the purpose of the enumerator device and why is it separate from the bluetooth device itself?

Additional explanation of the question as requested in the comments
I'd like to know why Microsoft (or whoever) decided to split Bluetooth functionality into 2 different devices (unlike most other devices, which are represented by just a single device in the device manager) as well as what the functionality of this secondary Bluetooth 'enumerator' device is.
One answer below claims that the (sole?) purpose of the enumerator device is to enumerate/cycle through connected Bluetooth devices and return information about the capabilities of them. But if so, it seems odd that:
1) This functionality is not located in the main Bluetooth device but separated into a secondary device.
2) That this is the sole purpose of the enumerator device.
If this is indeed the case, it would be nice with an explanation of the rationale behind this decision.

In other words, it is used like a management system which can enumerate (cycle through) all the bluetooth devices and what each device can do.
