should read 'underlying type' of an enum.

You can *approximate* to some point; and for 4.0.x I don't really care
about the confidence of the approximation. But, to pretend that it is
rather good is a a stretch :-)

I think you got side tracked by the mention of "is_enum".  I meant 
"the underlying type of an enum".
