Any thoughts or pointers on the best way to support rendering and parsing of enumerated 
constants?
Some only need to be printed, as for debug messages.
Others need to be parsed as well, such as from a configuration file.

I'm thinking the solution should provide for uniform access to the conversion including 
existing uses such as feeding an enumeration constant to Boost.Format and having it 
automatically render as the string.
