/*
 * The problem that CastableTypedEnumResult aims to solve is that
 * typed enums are not convertible to bool, and there is no way to make them
 * be, yet user code wants to be able to write
 *
 *   if (myFlags & Flags::SOME_PARTICULAR_FLAG)              (1)
 *
 * There are different approaches to solving this. Most of them require
 * adapting user code. For example, we could implement operator! and have
 * the user write
 *
 *   if (!!(myFlags & Flags::SOME_PARTICULAR_FLAG))          (2)
 *
 * Or we could supply a IsNonZero() or Any() function returning whether
 * an enum value is nonzero, and have the user write
 *
 *   if (Any(Flags & Flags::SOME_PARTICULAR_FLAG))           (3)
 *
 * But instead, we choose to preserve the original user syntax (1) as it
 * is inherently more readable, and to ease porting existing code to typed
 * enums. We achieve this by having operator& and other binary bitwise
 * operators have as return type a class, CastableTypedEnumResult,
 * that wraps a typed enum but adds bool convertibility.
