I am pretty certain that I disagree with that warning: enums have been
used as equivalents of ints for a long time, and will be, for a long time
to come.

Given that this test is modified to `if (command < TODO_NOOP)` later, I
hope that you agree that it is not worth the trouble to appease that
compiler overreaction?
