I know, that's in my TODO list, but I wanted to do 'printable enums' 
first and I had 'startup' problem (not being very familiar with template 
programming).
Now that kevin bealer has provided 'reflexive enums', I want to refine 
the implementation (struct or not struct?), do the write stuff, then 
world domination.
