So

e = (E)7;

printf ("%d\n", (int)e));

should print 3, and not 7 as is does now, and this should work by 
converting integer types into enumeration types, and not by masking 
upon converting enumeration types to ints?  Did I get that right?

We can do that.  Wanna ask Tom to put this in his testsuite, so that we 
can get all the other C++ compilers to switch?
