          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

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.
