The reason int is there is because pure Enums should be using plain ints as their value 95% or more of the time, and being able to easily convert to a real int for either database storage, wire transmission, or C functions is a Good Thing.
What would int(x) return if x is an enum whose value is not a plain int?
Why can't you use x.value for this use case?
