Re: [boost] BOSOT_ENUM proposal rev 4, ENUM_VALUES extension?

One alternative is to do this instead:

BOOST_ENUM_VALUES(BlockType_t, const char*,
  (SampleIfg)("Sample Interferogram")
  (SampleSpec)("Sample Spectrum")
  (SamplePhase)("Sample Phase")
  (RefIfg)("Reference Interferogram")
)

One principle idea of the Boost.Enum library is to hide the fact that
integers are really doing the dirty work. I suppose in this case we could
expose a 'raw' or 'native' method that would return the index number of the
enumeration element. This could then be used for your vector index. Would
this work for you?
