No, for C++98 your statement is even more incorrect because
enumerators (the constants) are NOT of type int -- and that has been
so for looon time now that I'm surprise.  In fact, I wish the
enumeration underlying type were not int by default.  But I suspect
that for interoperability with C, it was decided -fshort-enum wasn't
the default (I wish it was).
