Fortunately, my feelings aren't hurt *too* much :)

I will point out, with {native_enum, underlying_integer, scoped_enum}, that
I like the consistency of them all being "things" (i.e., nouns), rather than
adjectives.  Robert Stewart suggested "underlying_storage", which I think is
still better than just plain "underlying", but (to me) less descriptive than
"underlying_integer".

At least now you have some alternatives to consider, though.
