Access enum values by name.

Extensions on a collection of enum values,intended for use on thevalues list of an enum type,which allows looking up a value by its name.

Since enum classes are expected to be relatively small,lookup ofbyName is performed by linearly iterating through the valuesand comparing their name to the provided name.If a more efficient lookup is needed, perhaps because the lookup operationhappens very often, consider building a map instead usingasNameMap:

static myEnumNameMap = MyEnum.values.asNameMap();

and then use that for lookups.
