I want to have an ostream printer for enums, but I've got the feeling that
enums are just ints internall.

If I say
---
enum foo {
	bar,
	baz
};

ostream& operator<<(ostream&, foo)
---

I get an error stating that << is defined in two ways, which I think is
related to there being an << operator for int.

So, anyway to have per-enum printers?
