In this example g++ produces a warning:
e.cpp: In function 'int f(E)':
e.cpp:9: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
Adding `default' statemnet to `switch' removes the warning but
in C++ out-of-range values in enums are undefined.
nevertheless, that integer type might get its bits twiddled somehow.
