In ANSI C, it is ( I thought) legitimate to do the following:

enum x { a, b, c} y;
int i;

y = 1;
i = y;

In the 2.0 release version of c++, a warning is emitted
for assigments of int typed to enums.

In theory, benign warnings are supposed to be suppressed
unless one compiles with the +w option.

Howcome this isn't suppressed?
