I don't think there is a way to turn symbols into strings without 
a table or #preprocessing. In C++ I would personally have used a 
table instead, but as a quick hack for testing, a macro would do.

I am not sure if this should be possible with templates as the 
actual name of the symbol should be transparent to the 
type-system. The type system should only care about 
identity/uniqueness of symbols, not spelling, sorting etc. So if 
C++ made it available it should not be through the type system 
IMO.
