No, it should warn solely if enumerator gets implicitly assigned value of some
other enumerator.  After all, the clang wording also mentions that:
element 'D' has been implicitly assigned 5 which another element has been
assigned [-Wduplicate-enum]
If there is = value for it, we should never warn, that is most likely
completely intentional.
Of course, we should use better wording, because we should talk about
enumerators, not elements...
