[using gcc book] ch3.8 options to request or suppress warnings

[Chris Devers]

In section 3.8 of _Using GCC_, the description of the flags -Wswitch et
alia refer to "enumeral types".

In my too-dimly remembered C classes in college, I learned about
"enumerated types", but the term "enumeral type"  never came up. On the
other hand, I have been able to find references to this usage of the term
in the archives of this list, so I'm assuming that the usage is at least
somewhat familiar to GCC users, even if it sounds funny to me.

I want to double-check that "enumeral type" is an accepted term so I can
stop being tempted to change it :)
