[Interest] Qt support for strongly-typed enums

[NoRulez]

I think yes.

We have also updated an old project and replaced QMap<enumtype, QString> with std::unordered_map<enumtype, QString> where enumtype was a normal "enum" and now converted to "enum class".
Because it seems not possible to use strong enums in the QMetaType.

Please correct me if I'm wrong

Best Regards

This breaks some code where I add the enum to a QVariantMap in preparation to conversion to JSON so I had to add a static_cast<int>(). But it made me wonder - is this best practice or is there a Qt way of declaring a strongly-typed enum that's compatible with the likes of QVariant?
