You're confusing need with provision.  The case in point provides an
example of a *need* for incomplete enumerated types.  However, the standard
does not provide such a feature.  Indeed, wording in at least one place
(I'm at Usenix and don't have my copy handy) indicates clearly that X3J11
specifically thought that there was no such thing.
