This is, however, kind of a hack IMHO that relies on the compiler behavior that 
isn't well documented.

For example, this:

enum Planet {
        case Earth
        case Mars
}

"\(Planet.Mars)" // This is "Mars"


Works as well. You don't need to have the represented value to be String.

Note that this:

- works both when you have a plain enum, or enum Planet: Int, or whatever raw 
value kind
- does not work (!) when declared as @objc - then the result is "Planet".
