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.
