Enum with Fixed Underlying Type

/*
 Enum with Fixed Underlying Type
 New with Xcode 4.4
 Via WWDC2012 Session 405 - Modern Objective-C

 Results in better code completion and stronger type checking.
 Use -Wconversion compiler flag to check for enum type errors.
 -Wswitch for checking if switch statement is fully handled for enum.
