it is relevant insofar as that every platform that comes with a recent
c++ compiler uses two's complement. this then applies to any language,
regardless of standard.
Still I don't feel comfortable overriding compiler warnings for
something pedestrian as a command line parser. No idea what other
assumptions are made in compilers around enums.
i'm not sure what you're really worried about. if there was an actual
problem, we'd have noticed by now. as far as i'm concerned, the question
is only how to codify the status quo in the most elegant way. putting a
typecast into a macro certainly qualifies in my book.
