Enums are handled like ints: They warn if the offset is out of bounds,
but don't if it's they are in bounds.

Removed the parens.

Done, added an enum-overloaded operator+ to the test.

Ok, I added the warning for the int on the left as well (without fixit
in that case, like you suggested upthread).
