The 'POS attribute can be used to find the position of the enumeration,
which is the same as the internal representation when there is no
representation specification. If there is a rep-spec on the enumeration,
then you do have a bit of a problem. I believe that at least one
implementation provides a 'REP attribute for this purpose, but you will
not find that on most compilers. The obvious way to find the internal
representation in all cases is to use an unchecked conversion from the
enumeration value to an integer variable. Unchecked_conversion is the
typing-loophole that allows you to manipulate your view of any object's
internal representation.
