/*
 * Usage:
 *
 * desired enumeration:
 * enum class Gender {
 *   UNKNOWN,
 *   FEMALE,
 *   MALE
 * }
 *
 * use in header file:
 * MIRA_HUMANREADABLE_ENUM_DECLARE(Gender, UNKNOWN, FEMALE, MALE);
 *
 * use in code file:
 * MIRA_HUMANREADABLE_ENUM_DEFINE(Gender, UNKNOWN, FEMALE, MALE);
 *
 * now you can use following functions:
 * std::string toString(const Gender& v); -> converts Gender::UNKNOWN to "UNKNOWN"
 * Gender toGender(const std::string& v); -> converts "FEMALE" to Gender::FEMALE
