 IF it does away with implicit conversion to int then I am all for it

Anyone think this functionality belongs in boost?  (I have working code)

ENUM(X, B = N, C, D = B + C };  // or whatever X x1 = C; cout << x1 <<
'\n'; // outputs "C\n"
X x2("D");  // construct from string...
if (x2 == D) { will do }
