You will get an error at runtime, and with the flags added by the last
patch in the series, a crash.
The error looks somewhat like the error from the expression dumping
patch:
runtime error: load of value 2887952, which is not a valid value for type 'exp_opcode'
(I don't have an exact error handy, this was just taken from the other
patch.)

With the final patch, any UB will cause gdb to crash (in development
mode), presumably leading to a test suite failure. I think it isn't
necessary to require unsigned as the underlying type -- any type will
do. However I don't know how to assert that.
