Enhancement: Better way to test enums

[raineorshine]

Unless there is a global available to tests that I am not aware of, enums are only understood as uint types (as they are compiled to):

it('should have a myEnum property', () => {
  var contract = MyContract.deployed()
  return contract.myEnum.call(accounts[0]).then(myEnumResult => {
    assert.equal(myEnumResult.valueOf(), 1)
  })
})

It would be better to have something like this so that the test was not tightly coupled to the enum's underlying integer values:

assert.equal(myEnumResult.valueOf(), contract.deployed().MyEnum.SomeValue)

Is this feasible? Would you have to parse the Solidity yourself since the deployed contract just treats enums as uint's?

Likely feasible if the enums are described in the contract's ABI. This would be a feature update for ether-pudding, however.
