Well, the size of enums in general is compiler-dependent.  (I think our
use of PetscEnum is technically incorrect unless we have already ensured
that the actual enums have that size.)  But even if the size varies by
enum, it's still well-defined and behaves like the compatible int as far
as varargs should be concerned.
