> The RequestContext.Accessibility enum defines aliases/pretty names for the enum constants:
>   public enum Accessibility
>   {
>     /**
>      * Output supports accessibility features
>      */
>     DEFAULT("default"),
>     /**
>      * Accessibility-specific constructs are stripped out to optimize output size
>      */
>     INACCESSIBLE("inaccessible"),
>     /**
>      * Accessibility-specific constructs are added to improve behavior under a screen reader
>      * (but may affect other users negatively)
>      */
>     SCREEN_READER("screenReader");
>     Accessibility(String name)
>     {
>       _name = name;
>     }
>     @Override
>     public String toString()
>     {
>       return _name;
>     }
>     private final String _name;
>   };
> I have several places in my code where I need to translate from the pretty name/alias (eg. "screenReader"), back to the corresponding enum constant.
> Enum.valueOf() is useless for this, since this only honors the canonical enum constant names (eg. "SCREEN_READER").
> I would like an API that performs the equivalent functionality of Enum.valueOf(), but for the pretty names/aliases.
