//! This class gives a way of conversion between the value of an
//! enumeration and its representation in STEP
//! An enumeration corresponds to an integer with reserved values,
//! which begin to 0
//! In STEP, it is represented by a name in capital letter and
//! limited by two dots, e.g. .UNKNOWN.
//!
//! EnumTool works with integers, it is just required to cast
//! between an integer and an enumeration of required type.
//!
//! Its definition is intended to allow static creation in once,
//! without having to recreate once for each use.
//!
//! It is possible to define subclasses on it, which directly give
//! the good list of definition texts, and accepts a enumeration
//! of the good type instead of an integer

  //! Such a static constructor allows to build a static description
  //! as : static StepData_EnumTool myenumtool("e0","e1"...);
  //! then use it without having to initialise it
