Hello,

I have the following problem. I have this source

class A {
enum E { /* something */ };
};

I f i want to reference the elements of E in an unrelated function,
I have to use A::enum_element_name notation. How could I omit
the A:: part?

I cannot use the using declaration, am I right? Is making all my
function static methods of the class containing (or inheriting) all
enums the only way to do it? (One use of such "pattern" is the Qt
library)

Thanks for your answers
