Comment (by Adam Nielsen <a.nielsen@…>):

 Yes that does work - sorry I didn't realise you had already catered for
 this situation!  I had assumed it would be possible to simply convert the
 enums to ints when printing, but then enum class types can't be inherited
 so I imagine it's not possible to handle enum classes in a generic way
 like this.

 I don't suppose there's any way a static_assert or similar could be used
 to at least get an error message that makes it look less like a problem
 with the library code?

 Either way thanks for your help!
