Re: (Boost) Reflecto

Hi Emil,
If you expand this library (which I suppose is based upon the ideas in
magic-enum), I would suggest adding the functionality in "light enum"
available at https://github.com/gloinart/light_enum
(note, made by me).
Light enum has the same features as magic enum, with the difference that
the enums are "registered" in .cpp files before usage. This way, the
compile time overhead of magic enum is avoided.

As a bonus, you can also introspect an enum even if you only have a forward
declaration available.

Best
