Stream insertion operators

== Synopses

Declared in `<bslx_byteinstream.h>`

Write the string representation of the specified enumeration `value` to the specified output `stream` in a single‐line format, and return a reference to `stream`. See `toAscii` for what constitutes the string representation of a `TypeCode::Enum` value. Note that this method has the same behavior as ` TypeCode::print(stream, value, 0, ‐1); `

Write the specified `value` to the specified output `stream` following the requirements of the BDEX protocol (see the `bslx` package‐level documentation), and return a reference to `stream`. The behavior is undefined unless `TYPE` is BDEX‐compliant.
