    I'm going to pick this up and implement it in the context of THRIFT-4060.  The compiler will emit a declaration for operator << of an enumeration, but the emitter for the definition of same will be optional.

> THRIFT-2067 added {{operator<<}} to the C++ generated code, which is great, but enums are printed as numbers rather than their string representation. It would be great if the generated code printed them as a string instead. There might be some backwards-compatibility concerns (if users have already defined their own versions, then thrift's version would cause compile errors), not sure how important you guys think those are.
> Other thoughts/concerns? I am willing to work on a patch if no one else is able to work on it.
