/** \brief enum to string conversion
*
* This is the heart of the 'automatic' enum to string conversion and taken
* from:
* <a href="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/C___enums_to_strings.aspx">http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/C___enums_to_strings.aspx</a>
*
* Thanks to Marcos F. Cardoso.
*
* With the preprocessor #defines from this file and a special inclusion and
* enum definition strategy the code for enum to string conversion is
* automatically created.
*
* For an enum of name "MyEnum" the conversion function will be called
* <code>const char* GetStringMyEnum(MyEnum tagMyEnum);</code>.
*
