- in some circumstances we need to pass a bool value upwards to the
caller and know if the true/false value was set based on real input
or is a default value.
Eg, in the object::read() we might normally have
enabled_(dict.readIfPresent(key, true));
but would lose information about why the value is true/false.
We can change that by using
enabled_(dict.readIfPresent<Switch>(key, Switch::DEFAULT_ON));
After which we can use this information is testing.
if
(
child.enabled().nonDefault()
? child.enabled()
: parent.enabled()
)
{ ... }
And thus enable output if the parent requested it explicitly or by
default and it has not been explicitly disabled in the child.
No difference when testing as a bool and the text representation
of DEFAULT_ON / DEFAULT_OFF will simply be "true" / "false".
ENH: add construction of Switch from dictionary (similar to Enum)
