Note: this logically conflicts with #4899. If you want both (and you should), merge one and I'll refresh the other. |

The annotation was a constant of an empty type, which left no room for
options. Make the annotation type itself, fmt::as_identifiers, the thing
users write, so it is now spelled
enum class [[=fmt::as_identifiers()]] color { red, green, blue };
and options can later be added as constructor arguments.

I also expect something like [[=fmt::format_as("alternative")]] when a particular identifier isn't suitable, but that isn't on the enum type itself. |
