Question: How can I retrieve an enum member by value?

Say for example I have this enum:

var Members = new Enum({
  A: "a",
  B: "b"
});

I’d like to be able to do something like:

var member = Members.byValue('a');

Did I miss something in the documentation, or is this currently impossible?

What is the reason for not allowing strings as values? I see this as a pretty common use case. In my system, use strings as values so that they are human-readable in the database. This means that in addition to wanting to use strings as values, I’d also be looking for an option to have a constructor option that changes the behaviour of toString/toJSON to return the value rather than the key.
