Ok for mainline? If not, would Mark's C++-only fix be preferred?
Yes, that's certainly better than my version.
Although I'm somewhat disturbed by the concept of flipping the
signedness of an enumeration type, despite RTH's comments. An
enumeration type has the signedness it has. If the middle end wants to
convert it to an integer type, and then be clever, I'm perfectly
comfortable with that -- but in my opinion we shouldn't need this patch
at all.
