I'm slightly confused. This is a reflector for a subgroup of WG21,
the ISO standardization committee for C++.

You seem to be asking about a facility suitable for C.
The ISO standardization committee for C is WG14.
I'd suggest to talk to them to get an opinion.
If all you want is an "enum_to_string" facility, maybe they are
interested in a specific proposal (with very specific syntax)
that delivers that.

From a C++ viewpoint, P2996 seems to deliver that feature in
a nice generic framework, so I'm not seeing an open issue.
