I've been wondering about debug-ability of code using reflection. X-Macros are quite annoying to step through in most debuggers, though possible. While the code in the first example is evaluated fully at compile-time, how would you approach debugging it?
Is it? I'm mostly used to (pre-)C++11 and the only unusual operators I see are ^^T (which I presume accesses the metadata info of T) and [:e:] (which I assume somehow casts the enumerator metadata 'e' to a constant value of T).
And template for but I assume that's like inline for like in zig.
No doubt reflection has been built with other use cases in mind, but it sure would have been nice just to have std::to_string(enum)

Oof, that first example (the idiomatic C++26 way) looks so foreign if you're mostly used to C++11.
