Previously, this was impossible (you have to write it all out by hand / create a static array / put all the values into a dictionary and read them back ... etc)
But I've noticed that the latest Xcode's lldb (4.6, maybe earlier versions too) is automatically converting enum-constants to strings.
My problem is that we use a lot of libraries - including Apple's own! - which use annoying public enums with no "value-to-string" method offered. So I end up having to (many, many times over) do the "well, since Mr. Library Author didn't do this, now I have to make the static array for them...".
I kept hoping Apple would provide a way out of this - is it finally here? Or is this some trick that only the debugger can do - mere runtime code has no access to it?
