So the debugger doesn't have to guess the properties of the enum's

Well, the enum already has DW_AT_byte_size. It seems to me that it should
also have DW_AT_encoding to provide the other two properties you mention.
Right, that is the idea, since an enum doesn't provide those attributes,
it should have a reference to the underlying base type that provides them.
Yes, but why is that better than providing them directly? The latter
would seem to work better with non-C-family languages like Ada.
