Mapping Enums onto SQLite Text type is intentional. The "Parameters" feature didn't exist back in version 1.7.3. Note that if you are converting data selected from the database, you can convert either Integer or Text as Enums, but with Paramaters (going into the database) one has to make a choice of type for Enums, and the choice I made is Text.
You can still make Enums Integers, but you will have to use another method, such as "Prepare Statement".
