Are you sure, that BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT should also handle situations
where compilers cannot handle in-class-definitions of enums's? In this case I
think
that the name BOOST_STATIC_CONSTANT is not the correct one and I would
suggest to introduce one further macro, like BOOST_ENUM_VALUE or something
similar to that for that purpose.

Btw: Which compiler cannot handle enums in classes? Just a question of interest.
