I really think we shall have a common template for Enums

org.apache.commons.configuration2.ImmutableConfiguration.getEnum()?

Hi All:

I'd like to have a way to get an enum instance out of
a org.apache.commons.configuration2.ImmutableConfiguration.

I'm surprised there is nothing like a getEnum(...). Any thoughts about
adding:

default <T extends Enum<T>> T getEnum(String key, Class<T> enumType) {
        return Enum.valueOf(enumType, getString(key));
    }

default <T extends Enum<T>> T getEnum(String key, Class<T> enumType, String
defaultEnum) {
        return Enum.valueOf(enumType, getString(key, defaultEnum));
    }

?
Gary
