The discussion on this series has wound down by now, but I'm not sure whether anything actionable came out of it. The biggest question was around whether or not to use an enum as parameter or an unsigned integer, but there wasn't really a clear conclusion.

Should I reroll this series to convert it to an enum, or should I keep this as-is and then we can merge this series down?

Thanks!
