When no type or width is specified, the default type is int. When a width,
but no type, is specified, I think the default type should be bit.
The type int is 32 bits, and there is no way to specify a int of any
other size, so I believe bit is a better choice.
If we used a default type of bit for sized enums, we also need to decide
if it is signed or unsigned. I would vote for signed, because I don't
think specifying a size should change an enum from signed to unsigned.
