[wg11] Extending enumeration datatypes and implicit interfacing

[Andy Carpenter]

Does the based-on datatype of an enumeration get implicitly interfaced
when the enumeration datatype which references it gets interfaced?
Clause 11 of the standard makes no statement that it does, which
implies that no implicit interfacing happens.

The based-on type for select datatypes is implicitly interfaced. This
produces an inconsistency between the two uses of based-on,
which seems surprising.

    thanks
        Andy.
