Yes and no. Behind the scenes the code would of course look much like that, but in user code I was thinking along the lines of

QMap<MyEnum,QString> dict = { {Enum1, QStringLiteral("Enum1")}, {Enum2, QStringLiteral("Enum2")} };

I considered what you suggested, of course. Writing such a generic interface makes sense if you can reuse it sufficiently often (or if you have really many entries to add), but rarely if you have just a few small dicts to create here and there.
