This does silence the warning.

I slightly prefer mine because:

  1. It does not carry an implicit requirement that TODO_INVALID remain
     the final enum value.

  2. It also protects the range check against a negative enum value.

But this is code that is getting changed later by you anyway, and I do
not care that strongly.
