Some suggestions:

A. get rid of the leading _ un function names.

B. make size a constexpr function

C. add to_integral() (or is that done by a static cast?)

Somthing to consider: One reaching for an enum, one very often needs a 
small statically sized, immutable bidirectional map. That is, the mapped 
strings needs not be the name of the enum constant. Key-value pair 
iteration may be useful and
