Ah, yes, that's a terrific suggestion. Thanks.

and maybe a CT version:

This is good too, but I think I'd still want a runtime version so that I can
use it for an ostream operator. It seems a little weird to use:

const char* str = Level::str<Level::Error>();

Hmm, wish it could look more elegant :p
