[Ralph Versteegen]

It's also the reason that enums are such a nuisance on 64 bit: FB makes
them the same size as (its) integer type. But the FB devs do have a plan to
let you pick the underlying type of an enum. Especially because in C on
x86_64 enums are 32 bit bit, so FB's behaviour is bad for interoperability.
