Description

This will make JSON encoder/decoders use string representation instead of meaningless numbers.

The new generated code will looks like:

func (p TestEnum) MarshalText() ([]byte, error) {
	return []byte(p.String()), nil
}

func (p *TestEnum) UnmarshalText(text []byte) error {
	x, err := TestEnumFromString(string(text))
	*p = x
	return err
}
