I'm sure it'd be easy enough to write, but does phobos have a simple way to convert the name of an enum member from a runtime string to the enum type?

Ie, something like:

enum Foobar { foo=1, bar }
Foobar a = doesThisExistInPhobos!Foobar("foo");

I'm not finding anything like it in the docs, but I'm wondering if I just missed it somewhere.

	import std.conv : to;
	Foobar a = "foo".to!Foobar;

import std.conv;

enum Foobar { foo=1, bar }
void main() {
    assert("foo".to!Foobar == Foobar.foo);
}
