/**
 * Generic marshaller for enumerations.
 *
 * Please note, there are some risks in distributed systems when using
 * enumerations as attributes instead of simply using a String.
 * When adding new values to the enumeration, the enum only changes must
 * be deployed before the enumeration value can be persisted. This will
 * ensure that all systems have the correct code to map it from the item
 * record in DynamoDB to your objects.
