Because it's ambiguous. Which day of the week is number 3? It
depends on where you start.

I should perhaps point out that the numbers assigned to the
values initially are just to establish the relative ordering.
They wouldn't be directly accessible once the values are
created. To get an integer value corresponding to a Day value,
you would have to do arithmetic:

    Day.wednesday - Day.sunday --> 3
