                // An implicit enumeration conversion permits the decimal-integer-literal 0 to be converted to any
                // enum-type.

                // However, we actually allow any constant zero, not just the integer literal zero, to be converted
                // to enum.  The reason for this is for backwards compatibility with a premature optimization
                // that used to be in the binding layer.  We would optimize away expressions such as 0 | blah to be
                // just 0, but not erase the "is literal" bit.  This meant that expression such as 0 | 0 | E.X
                // would succeed rather than correctly producing an error pointing out that 0 | 0 is not a literal
                // zero and therefore does not convert to any enum.
                //
                // We have removed the premature optimization but want old code to continue to compile. Rather than
                // try to emulate the somewhat complex behaviour of the previous optimizer, it is easier to simply
                // say that any compile time constant zero is convertible to any enum.  This means unfortunately
                // expressions such as (7-7) * 12 are convertible to enum, but frankly, that's better than having
                // some terribly complex rule about what constitutes a legal zero and what doesn't.
