Access Enum as Constant

[sshaw]

First off thanks for the great lib:exclamation:

Second, call me nostalgic, but being able to access the enums as a constant would be a nice addition. For example:

class State < ActiveEnum::Base
  value 1 => "Available"
  value 2 => "In Progress"
  # ...
end

State::AVAILABLE
State::IN_PROGRESS

It's sorta almost there now with:

State["IN_PROGRESS"]

Let me know what you think. If so I'll submit a pull request.

Totally understand your nostalgia. This gem is a dirty hybrid of the idea of an enum. Solving common needs but not being purist. The contract of having values as constants is something that can't be fulfilled in many apps because the name is not able to be defined as a constant (eg. punctuation or similar).

It could however be added as an extension to the gem and activated in the config. I would leave that for you to investigate.
