Since all the codegen packages that want to use this enum attribute have
not been written yet I don't think back-compatibility is an issue. They
are not using uint because they do not exist yet!
The C codegen can continue to ignore the enum, or use it in a way that
does not break code that tries to pass an integer or the wrong enum.

The purpose of docenum was purely for documentation. An API generator

Any attribute that modifies the generated API in incompatible ways
cannot be added after the interface has been released as stable. If
your function argument was uint, and you change it to an enum in a
strictly typed language, does it not have a good chance of breaking
someone's build?
