Why use a String as default and not a T?

default <T extends Enum<T>> T getEnum(String key, Class<T> enumType, T defaultEnum) {
    String value = getString(key, null);
    return value != null ? Enum.valueOf(enumType, value) : defaultEnum);
}

Subject: [configuration] 
org.apache.commons.configuration2.ImmutableConfiguration.getEnum()?

Hi All:

I'd like to have a way to get an enum instance out of
a org.apache.commons.configuration2.ImmutableConfiguration.

I'm surprised there is nothing like a getEnum(...). Any thoughts about
adding:

default <T extends Enum<T>> T getEnum(String key, Class<T> enumType) {
         return Enum.valueOf(enumType, getString(key));
     }

default <T extends Enum<T>> T getEnum(String key, Class<T> enumType, String
defaultEnum) {
         return Enum.valueOf(enumType, getString(key, defaultEnum));
     }

?
Gary
