Maps with enum keys, such as std::map<E, T>, are stored as arrays of [key, value] pairs, because enums are not convertible to the string type of object keys - even if NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM maps them to strings (#4378). The new JSON_USE_OBJECTS_FOR_ENUM_KEYED_MAPS macro stores them as objects instead, converting each key with the enum's to_json. It applies to any map-like type with enum keys (std::map with any comparator, std::unordered_map, ...). A key that does not convert to a string throws type_error.302, and two keys converting to the same string throw the new type_error.318, rather than losing an entry. The macro changes the output of inline functions, so it is part of the ABI tag (_ekmo). Reading needs no macro: std::map and std::unordered_map with enum keys are now also read from objects, converting each key with the enum's from_json. That input was rejected before, and arrays of pairs are still read, so data written either way can be read. This supersedes #4531, which first proposed storing these maps as objects.
