If I understand Amirouche correctly, the idea is that we provide

Okay, that makes more sense now.
 
There is a serious bit of awkwardness,
though, in that these integers can only encode combinations of enums
with ordinals equal to 2^n for some n.

I assume the intended interpretation is that iff bit n of the integer (according to the usual SRFI 151 bit numbering) is 1, then ordinal n is in the set.  In which case, getting the bitwise integer back is a fold.  I still don't think it makes much sense to use an unfold to populate an enum-set, though, because the number of possible elements in an enum-set is not only finite but usually rather small.
