Issue ID: 24049
Summary: std.conv.to: string to enum conversion is not
documented
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: phobos
Assignee: [email protected]

std.conv.to supports conversion between enum types and string in both
directions:
---
import std.conv: to;
enum Example { foo }
unittest
{
assert(Example.foo.to!string == "foo");
assert("foo".to!Example == Example.foo);
}
---
However, only the enum-to-string conversion is mentioned in std.conv.to's
documentation:
> Stringize conversion from all types is supported.
> [...]
> * Enumerated types are converted to strings as their symbolic names.
The conversion in the other direction, from string to enum type, is only
mentioned in the documentation for std.conv.parse, where users of std.conv.to
are likely to miss it.
