Subject: enumeration with symbol name information

Hello everybody...
I have a beginne's question:

I've created class for my numeric constants, it looks like:

class MyClass

  NAME1 = 0
  NAME2 = 1
  NAME3 = 2
  #etc...

  def self.to_s(something)
    case something
      when 0
        "NAME1"
      when 1
        "NAME2"
      when 2
        "NAME3"
      #etc...
    end
  end

end


What is more elegant way to do this? Basically, I want to convert the 
numerical value to string representation (ideally via identifier name).

Thanks in advance,
Sasa
