    On the topic of this kind of hackflection willwray/enum_traits uses an interesting trick where they improve buildtime performance by doing the __PRETTY_FUNCTION__/__FUNCSIG__/std::source_location::current().function_name() inside a variadic templated function to do the name conversion for a batch of integers at the same time to make it less expensive (compiletime) to test a large range of numbers.

Magic Enum C++ - Static reflection for enums (to string, from string, iteration) for modern C++, work with any enum type without any macro or boilerplate code

Better Enums - C++ compile-time enum to string, iteration, in a single header file
