So it is NOT built-in and the code example shown above is dishonest - @SuperV1234 compares how "lean" two languages are but conveniently hides half of the code in their preferred language to make it seem simpler that it actually is, as otherwise it would look bad in the comparison!

Reflection is built in, the support is there, anyone can make a left pad out such simple snippet.

Can you quote the C++ standard section that specifically talks about the `to_enum_string` function?

Some people like to really be obtuse on purpose.

It is on the same place as left pad on ECMA 262.

The comparison was about `to_enum_string` example, so I'm asking for exactly that! You can't just make up different rules, that's not how comparisons work!
