There is no type safeness with enums in C. Enums are freely converted into
ints and back. This is the reason, why cc65 can implement enums as they are
(not as a separate type, but simply as ints). In C, the following statements
are completely legal:

    enum foobar {
        foo,
        bar
    };
    enum foobar x = 0x55;
    int y = foo;

Maybe you're used to C++, where this is different. But cc65 is not a C++
compiler and will never be one.
