As I explained before, the point is that all the known message types
are handled in the switch statement cases (and you will get a compiler
warning if you miss one of the enum values in the switch cases).
So anything NOT handled in the switch, will be some OTHER value (and
note that any "int" value can be assigned to an enum).
Who says its value will be a printable character (%c) in this case?
And even if it is printable, will it help?
I think in this case it would be better to know the exact value of the
byte ("%d" or "0x%x" etc.), not the character equivalent.
I'm OK if it's done as a separate patch.
