    func symbolName[T: enum](a: T): string

  Returns the symbol name of an enum.

  This uses `symbolRank`.

  Example:

      type B = enum
        b0 = (10, "kb0")
        b1 = "kb1"
        b2
      let b = B.low
      assert b.symbolName == "b0"
      assert $b == "kb0"
      static: assert B.high.symbolName == "b2"
      type C = enum # HoleyEnum
        c0 = -3
        c1 = 4
        c2 = 20
      assert c1.symbolName == "c1"

# Iterators

    iterator items[T: HoleyEnum](E: typedesc[T]): T

  Iterates over an enum with holes.

  Example:

      type
        A = enum
          a0 = 2
          a1 = 4
          a2
        B[T] = enum
          b0 = 2
          b1 = 4
      from std/sequtils import toSeq
      assert A.toSeq == [a0, a1, a2]
      assert B[float].toSeq == [B[float].b0, B[float].b1]

# Macros

    macro genEnumCaseStmt(typ: typedesc; argSym: typed; default: typed;
                          userMin, userMax: static[int];
                          normalizer: static[proc (s: string): string]): untyped

# Templates

    template symbolRank[T: enum](a: T): int

  Returns the index in which `a` is listed in `T`.

  The cost for a `HoleyEnum` is implementation defined, currently optimized for small enums, otherwise is `O(T.enumLen)`.

  Example:

      type
        A = enum # HoleyEnum
          a0 = -3
          a1 = 10
          a2
          a3 = (20, "f3Alt")
        B = enum # OrdinalEnum
          b0
          b1
          b2
        C = enum # OrdinalEnum
          c0 = 10
          c1
          c2
      assert a2.symbolRank == 2
      assert b2.symbolRank == 2
      assert c2.symbolRank == 2
      assert c2.ord == 12
      assert a2.ord == 11
      var invalid = 7.A
      doAssertRaises(IndexDefect): discard invalid.symbolRank
