BETTER_ENUM(Channel, int, Red, Green, Blue)
int main()
{
std::cout << +Channel::Red << std::endl;
return 0;
}
// The thing to watch for is the +: without it, Channel::Red is a value of type
// Channel::_enumerated, a C++98 enum type, so writing that to cout will output
// an integer. +Channel::Red, however, is a value of type Channel, and writing
// that instead will output the string "Red".
//
// Input is also supported:
//
// Channel channel = Channel::Blue;
// std::cin >> channel; // Expects input such as "Green".
// Only char streams are supported for the time being.
