Definately on the same page here. This was my next feature I wanted to add.
Everything works fine so far until the user specifies a value for an
element. Then the parse() feature blows up because it was expecting the
values to be sequential from 0. This is where I want to go with
BOOST_ENUM_VALUES(). It would require an extra column of data where the user
would put their value portion. Then I could construct a map just as you are
describing.
