I thought it might be, but so many programmers like to count everything 
from zero so I couldn't be sure. And the enumeration would have had a 
valid value represented as 0 anyway, just like it would have had a valid 
value represented as 15, wouldn't it?

So by "close enough" you meant "enough bits to be able to represent all 
values from 1 to 12"? Then I misunderstood you. It looked like you meant 
"close enough to actually enforcing the restriction that only values 
from 1 to 12 are valid".
