// JSONenums is a tool to automate the creation of methods that satisfy the
// fmt.Stringer, json.Marshaler and json.Unmarshaler interfaces.
// Given the name of a (signed or unsigned) integer type T that has constants
// defined, jsonenums will create a new self-contained Go source file implementing
//
//  func (t T) String() string
//  func (t T) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)
//  func (t *T) UnmarshalJSON([]byte) error
//
// The file is created in the same package and directory as the package that defines T.
// It has helpful defaults designed for use with go generate.
//
// JSONenums is a simple implementation of a concept and the code might not be
// the most performant or beautiful to read.
//
// For example, given this snippet,
//
//	package painkiller
//
//	type Pill int
//
//	const (
//		Placebo Pill = iota
//		Aspirin
//		Ibuprofen
//		Paracetamol
//		Acetaminophen = Paracetamol
//	)
//
// running this command
//
//	jsonenums -type=Pill
//
// in the same directory will create the file pill_jsonenums.go, in package painkiller,
// containing a definition of
//
//  func (r Pill) String() string
//  func (r Pill) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error)
//  func (r *Pill) UnmarshalJSON([]byte) error
//
// That method will translate the value of a Pill constant to the string representation
// of the respective constant name, so that the call fmt.Print(painkiller.Aspirin) will
// print the string "Aspirin".
//
// Typically this process would be run using go generate, like this:
//
//	//go:generate jsonenums -type=Pill
//
// If multiple constants have the same value, the lexically first matching name will
// be used (in the example, Acetaminophen will print as "Paracetamol").
//
// With no arguments, it processes the package in the current directory.
// Otherwise, the arguments must name a single directory holding a Go package
// or a set of Go source files that represent a single Go package.
//
// The -type flag accepts a comma-separated list of types so a single run can
// generate methods for multiple types. The default output file is
// t_jsonenums.go, where t is the lower-cased name of the first type listed.
// The suffix can be overridden with the -suffix flag and a prefix may be added
// with the -prefix flag.
//
