That's why I don't want a solution like your cast patch, as that
takes the typing information away.
Accept that the compiler currently doesn't want to allow enums to be
used as bit-masks, don't paper around it.
I'm not applying this patch either, you think all of this "__force"
casting stuff is better? No way.
