I made a number of enum extensions that renders each enum as a mixinable template that creates a struct. They allow pretty much everything people have been asking for in enums short of Java-style "enum classes." They have string printing, enum extension, iteration through enum values, ... Yeah, that's about it. And they're still only represented by one int, so no performance penalties.

I can post them if you want... Maybe I should put them in Scrapple.
