+ * 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.
