It's more generic if you want to view the class as a container with size() and begin()/end().

Better Enums is not the container, however. It’s a class that provides access to two containers, currently through _names() and _values(). Those containers do have size() (a function), and begin()/end():

Well, as I said, I think it makes sense to view it as a special type of map.

const int size = 3; char *descriptions[size];

int size() { return 3; } char *descriptions[size()];

I may be somehow wrong with this usage example. If so, please correct me.

If that is an important use-case, then I suggest that we provide both size() and enum_size constant. regards Thorsten
