title: What is the reason for specifying an Enum as uint?
body: <p>I came across some Enumerators that inherited <code>uint</code>.  I couldn't figure out why anyone would do this.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Enum myEnum : uint
  {
     ...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any advantage or specific reason someone would do this?  Why not just leave it as defaultint?</p>
