Description

Currently, in order to perform comparisons with enum values one needs to write code similar to:

<div data-sly-test="${member.inviteStatus.toString == 'PENDING'}" data-sly-unwrap>${'Pending' @ i18n, locale=request.locale}</div>   

This could be further simplified to:

<div data-sly-test="${member.inviteStatus == 'PENDING'}" data-sly-unwrap>${'Pending' @ i18n, locale=request.locale}</div>

for the cases when member.inviteStatus evaluates to an Enum constant.

Enum comparison support has also been added to version 1.2 draft of the Sightly Specification: https://github.com/Adobe-Marketing-Cloud/sightly-spec/blob/1.2/SPECIFICATION.md#1142-comparison-operators
