Description

Currently Sightly does not support implicit conversion from Enum to String like in

<div class="${member.inviteStatus}">...</div>

The class attribute will always be empty in case when member.inviteStatus is an Enum.
Instead you have to write

<div class="${member.inviteStatus.toString}">...</div>

Sightly should implicitly convert enums to Strings if they are just given out.
This is similar to SLING-5053.
