   Yet still the problem described by Bo Persson does exist: It is OK to   
   define enumeration values "out-of-line" such that they would have an   
   underlying value that does not exist in any of the enumerators of the   
   enumeration definition provided it is within the required limits denoted   
   as "b_min" and "b_max" in 7.2 [dcl.enum] p8. Such values can  be even   
   larger or smaller than the underlying values of the smallest or largest   
   enumerators (within the other constraints provided by [dcl.enum]).
