{
    NoYes myNoYes;  // NoYes is an enum.

    myNoYes = any2Enum(i);
    Global::info(strfmt("'%1' - is the output, from input of the %2 as int.", myNoYes, i));

    s = "1";  // A str that will be converted.
    myNoYes = any2Enum(s);
    Global::info(strfmt("'%1' - is the output, from input of the %2 as str.", myNoYes, s));
