[swift-evolution] Working with enums by name

[Leonardo Pessoa]

Just a fix. I've just tried the following code and the compiler complained there is no .rawValue on the type.

|   enum Size { case Fit, Fill }
|   print(Size.Fit.rawValue)

Then, as I said before, you can only get the value name as a string from interpolation and need to do everything by hand the other way around.

Sorry, must've missed that.
