Ah. I had thought that enums were scaled to the minimum sized  
primitive type that would fit the possible values.

I think this is the best solution. I had recommended the enum thing  
as I had thought it was an easy way to make JTAG a bit easier with no  
cost. If there's any cost, it's not worth it. (I consider packed and  
passing additional compiler options a cost.)
