 ===== Overview =====
-C++11 extensions to enums.
+C++11 extensions to enums -- enum classes versus original "plain" enums (//scoped and strongly-typed// versus //unscoped//).
+===== Basics =====
+Underlying type is ''int'':
+<code>
+enum struct|class Color { red, green, blue };
+...
+Color::red
+Color::green
+</code>
+Possible definitions:
+<code>
+Warning w1 = Warning::red;
+enum Warning w2 = Warning::green;
+enum class Warning w3 = Warning::blue; // no
+</code>
+===== Treating scoped enums like ints =====
