Good catch. It technically needs to check the lower bound, too. In
theory, if somebody wanted to add an enum value that is negative, you'd
use a signed cast and check against both 0 and ARRAY_SIZE(). In
practice, that is nonsense for this case, and using an unsigned type
means that any negative values become large, and the check catches them.

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.

I'm not sure I agree. IIRC, Assigning values outside the range of an enum has
always been fishy according to the standard, and a compiler really is
allowed to allocate a single bit for storage for this enum.

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?

I don't mind if there are transient warnings on some compilers in the
middle of a series, but I'm not sure when "later" is. The tip of "pu"
has this warning right now when built with clang.

I'm happy to test the TODO_NOOP version against clang (and prepare a
patch on top if it still complains), but that doesn't seem to have
Junio's tree at all yet.
