Comment:

 The class was created before C++11 scoped enums where it would have been
 possible to make this a single byte or even 2 bits.  As such, given the
 age of this request and the length of time the class has been around, the
 need for backwards compatibility, and the relative disinterest in the
 ticket, I am closing this out.
