https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1083
I can see cases where someone relying on the enumeration's numeric output
today would have a breaking change that they cannot easily avoid here. Changes
like this one, for example the one that added what() to thrift C++ generated
exception code, have caused me headaches in the past when upgrading. This
makes me wonder if we want to make things like this thrift-compiler-time
optional. Not something we have to solve here, but a more general question to
the maintainers.
