Re: [boost] [BENUM] Any interest in auto-generated enum-to/from-string functions, without longer/more-complex usage?

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 }

The answer is "yes", but please compare with the smart enum proposal that is already in the vault. I don't know the exact status of this, but it looks close to review ready, although the author might not be working on it. -Thorsten
