simply for flexibility and to avoid string comparisons 

int rowSelected = treeModel.row_selected()
switch (rowSelected) {
  case 0: {
    ...
    //if I want to key to somethingelse[rowSelected]
.......

currently I think this would have to be done:
std::string color = row[menuColums.color] 
if (color == "blue") {...}
  //if I want to key to somethingelse have to find index of "blue"
