Hello,

Is there a way to serialize enums automatically as int? Every time I define a new enum and write

std::stringstream stream;
stream << myenum1;
stream >> myenum2;

the compiler complains that the operators << and >> are not defined. Do you know a way to tell the compiler to treat enums as plain int's?

What makes the problem harder is that, actually, the serialization is inside a template. Something like this:

template <typename T>
void serialize(const T& value)
{
    std::stringstream stream;
    stream << value;
}

So I cannot add any casts :( Maybe I can specialize it somehow?

Thank you.
