This sounds fine to me. Even though I don't care too much about strict type 
checkers, ubiquitous `// type: ignore` on calls to `clang_`-prefixed functions 
should be rather easy to pick up by both authors and reviewers of future PRs.

I didn't intend you to close this PR in any case. My thinking was that you 
submit some of the changes from this PR and another PR, it gets merged into 
`main`, then you merge `main` back into this PR, eliminating changes from here.

That said, what you said about enums sounds convincing. I still would like bugs 
to be fixed separately (hopefully with tests). The fact that they get in the 
way of this PR is good enough to show that they are actually bugs to be fixed.
