Re: [boost] Interest in a small Enum IO utility?

Hi,

I have some code that helps with defining iostream-operators for enums. We use this in our C++<->xml bindings.

Basically, it's just two maps (string->enum & enum<-string) and some syntactic sugar. However, I happen to think it is quite neat and so figured it might be useful to other people too. (And it's always nice to give something back :)

So, is this something that would fit in boost?

Ping? Am I way off here?

I think there'd be some interest. Basically enums without a string mapping aren't much use -- and there was interest in boost_enum and other enum related helpers. BTW, in case you aren't aware you can use boost.bimap so you should only need one map. Jeff
