How to get the individual element of a defined enum type?

This should be a rather simple question. The following is the code:

julia> @enum Priority n h m l

julia> Priority(0)
n::Priority = 0

julia> String(Priority(0))

julia> typeof(n)
Enum Priority:
n = 0
h = 1
m = 2
l = 3

My question is, as you can see from the above, how to get the String counterpart of the Priority type? This should be doable easily, right? Did I miss something?

Lowecase string is a different and more flexible function than String, which is the String constructor, and can convert most values to strings:

julia> string(Priority(0))
"n"

It is curious that there is an Int constructor for Enums but no String constructor.
