/**
 * EnumeratedArray is a fixed-size array container for use when an
 * array is indexed by a specific enum class.
 *
 * This provides type safety by guarding at compile time against accidentally
 * indexing such arrays with unrelated values. This also removes the need
 * for manual casting when using a typed enum value to index arrays.
 *
 * Aside from the typing of indices, EnumeratedArray is similar to Array.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *   enum class AnimalSpecies {
 *     Cow,
 *     Sheep,
 *     Count
 *   };
 *
 *   EnumeratedArray<AnimalSpecies, AnimalSpecies::Count, int> headCount;
 *
 *   headCount[AnimalSpecies::Cow] = 17;
 *   headCount[AnimalSpecies::Sheep] = 30;
 *
