@Docs When the code is written, the `new` functions documentation needs to be updated. It has to list Enum.new and maybe show a little example. Similar to https://puppet.com/docs/puppet/latest/function.html#conversion-to-string

Re: Enum.new The Enum data type does not support new at the moment and would be easy to add without any consequences. It makes sense to be able to create a string from an enumeration based on Boolean or Numeric. It should error if the converted value leads to an index out of range for the enum.

Re: Enum.new I tried something and I do have no idea if it works or probably it doesn't: https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet/pull/8710
