C++ supports operator overloading as applied to enums. It doesn't have an
exponentiation operator, however, and you can't create new operators so that
would create a technical inconvenience in this case. Off hand I'm not sure
how one would create a function template in C++ that could take an
enumeration type and print the names of the enumerators. I wouldn't want to
say it's impossible though. In any case I'm not sure how that's related to
the issue of strong typing.
