Ahh, I thought that -Wenum-conversion was enabled with -Wall for GCC, it
appears to be enabled by -Wextra. I believe that Arnd has been tracking
down these instances with GCC and sending patches, I assume in hopes of
turning on the warning globally. I agree, the warning is definitely
helpful and clang has helped catch several bugs with it.
