+AD4 That's not quite right, the compiler sizes the enum to be able to fit

Hi Jason,

Are you perhaps confusing C and C+-+-? For C+-+-, an enumeration whose underlying
type is not fixed, the underlying type is an integral type that can represent
all the enumerator values defined in the enumeration. For C however I think
that enumeration values are restricted to what fits in an int.
