Ah I see. Plumbing commands are not translated. Makes perfect sense now.

At the risk of going on a tangent, I assumed this was because enums
are really ints, and the "default" is there in case the enum somehow
got assigned to an int without a corresponding value. Either because
of a cast from an int that was out-of-range, or new values that were
obtained from arithmetic or bitwise operations on the declared enum
values, which created undeclared values.
