I'd like to be able to write code like this:

enum MyNotifications : String {
    case Note1          = "note1"
    case Note2          = "note2"
}

let nc = NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter()
nc.postNotificationName(MyNotifications.Note1, nil)

But Swift (2.0) doesn't let me do that. Is it possible to write an extension 
method to NSNotificationCenter that accepts "any enum derived from String" (or 
that's convertible to String, or something like that)? e.g.:

    func postNotification(inName : enum:String)

I tried doing this: http://pastebin.com/kXLEHu8f

But it gets multiple errors, as you can see.

Is there an elegant way to do this? Seems counter-intuitive that I can't pass a 
derived enum in place of an ancestral type.
