{{alias}}( operation )
    Returns the enumeration constant associated with a BLAS operation side.

    Downstream consumers of this function should *not* rely on specific integer
    values (e.g., `LEFT == 0`). Instead, the function should be used in an
    opaque manner.

    Parameters
    ----------
    operation: string
        Operation side.

    Returns
    -------
    out: integer|null
        Enumeration constant.

    Examples
    --------
    > var out = {{alias}}( 'left' )
    <number>
