In addition to various useful suggestions on the list, I would ask for implementation to support (almost) any large number of enum elements (enumerators) within enum declaration.:

I have ad-hoc implementation of my own which uses Boost.Proprocessor's sequence to define enum elements. Then I can generate whatever parser/printer/other code I want (I find that very useful).

There's a disadvantage, however: obvious limitation of max 256 elements (at least, by default) coming from Boost.Preprocessor.

And that’s where the problem lies. To enable large numbers of enum values, I’d have to find a solution without using Boost.PP. Without C++ introducing argument number based macro overloading, that is not possible, short of defining my own macro sequences for more than 256 elements, which I would like to avoid. I am still thankful that you asked for this, because it uncovered a huge implementation problem which induces enormous compilation overhead (1 minute for 48 enum values on my laptop). I will do my best to make the library comprehend large enums, but I can’t guarantee anything larger than 256. --- Felix Uhl
