    This is probably an amazing library, yet the documentation gives me no clue

    * what the problem is that needs solving,

    * how the lib solves it and how that's preferable over dealing with the problem another way,

    * how it compares to other libs that solve the same problem.

    Therefore my interest in using this for my own projects right now is unfortunately close to zero.

    Any chance anyone knows how this compares to magic_enum (which iirc is c++17+ only? Though c++17 seems to be supported every platform i work on now)

    No string -> enum would probably be a non-starter for me though

    It is amazing how much effort is going to simplify adding "enum_to_string(e)" support in C++ or C. What is the reason this not being part of C++ standard?

    This is where homoiconicity really shines.
