scoped enums are declared differenty : enum *class* MyEnum :) 
Even more, scoped enums in C++ must me used with fully qualified name *MyEnum a 
= MyEnum.Val1* not *MyEnum a = Val1*, so a scoped enum is not exacly an enum 
:)

Well, that's all the *moc* sees and I'm pretty sure it knows also the *class* 
keyword, otherwise it can't skip it properly...
