/**
 * Helper class used to define safe enumerations.
 *
 * C++ 98 enums expose different security holes:
 *   - Scope The scope of the enum is the scope defining it. In other words,
 *   enumerator defined at namespace scope are in the same scope that other
 *   enumerator defined in that namespace even if they belong to a different
 *   enumeration.
 *   As a result it is really easy to collide names between two different
 *   enumerators. At the end, the programmer has to protect its declaration
 *   with long prefixing.
 *   - Unsafe comparison: enumerators really just are named integer and can be
 *   implicitly converted to integer. As a result it is possible to compare
 *   value of different enum type.
 *   - Layout: The layout type of enumerations is implementation defined.
 *
 * This template class expose a framework to overcome those issues:
 *
 * First enum has to be defined in a structure which inherit from this class.
 * The target type is the name of the structure containing the enumeration
 * while LayoutType is the inner type used to stored the enum.
 *
 * Comparison operator are provided so it is not possible to compare a SafeEnum
 * of a type to another SafeEnum of a different type.
 *
 * Implicit conversion to integer is not defined, users have to either use the
 * value function which return the integer value stored in an EnumType. Client
 * class can also define their own conversion operation.
 *
 * @tparam Target structure containing the enumeration definition.
 * @tparam LayoutType Inner type used to store enumeration value.
 *
