I had a same problem with sex, the change sex and objects affecting
the sex. I fixed it by making (keeping) it an integer and every
reference to it was done via get_sex() which returned 0, 1 or 2
depending on the value of the sex-field and put that in the
table. URANGE won't fix this, because female+1 should return male,
even if it's outside the range.
value of sex-field. get_sex() returns
0 is it 0
1 is male 1
2 is female 2
3 is male 1
4 is female 2
5 is male 1
6 is female 2
