That will then cause a bunch of potential warnings for any of the switch
cases that convert from one thing to the other. At least my LSP indicated
so. I guess I can ignore those (and wouldn't be surprised if they were
already ignored by the Makefiles and the LSP just didn't pick up on this
somehow.) I'll do that in the next revision if you're fine with this.
Potentially, I'll have to add a default case to some switch statements
that just does a WARN() or something.
I do wish C had a better way to deal with setting a symbol to the number
of valid enum values without making it itself a valid enum value.
