A better solution to C++ enums

One of the more popular posts on this blog is about textual enums in C++. You can find it here

I've received a very friendly e-mail this weekend from Anton Bachin, the author of the better enums library. Some time has passed since I originally wrote the post and C++ has improved quite a lot in the meantime, his library seems a much nicer solution! So feel free to read along but if you have a need for this functionality, definitely consider using his library instead. Thanks Anton for bringing it to my attention!

The original post has been updated with this remark as well.
