Just wondering....
what might be the reson of not allowing unsigned enums?

pretty useful in code as
typedef unsigned enum { option1, option2, option3, option4 } options;

struct {
 options:2;
 unsigned int other:30;
 } testing;

main () {
 testing.options = option4;

 if (testing.options == option4) {
  // won't work because enums are signed
 }
}
