For now developers have to use crutches like
enumFoobar{Foo,Bar,Baz,Quz, length =4};



this may be not safe and not robust.
Let the developer access the length value implicitly at compile time like

enumFoobar{foo, bar, baz, quz};
intNumberOfIemsInFoobar=Foobar::length;//

NumberOfIemsInFoobar is 4 during runtime


Make C++ more sweet!
