Err, sorry, I meant a helper object which also provides reverse mapping 
from symbol to name.

Something like

var Enum;
(function (Enum) {
     Enum[Enum["A"] = 0] = "A";
})(Enum || (Enum = {}));

var a = Enum.A;
var nameOfA = Enum[a]; // "A"

See:
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/enums.html#reverse-mappings

Also their enum type implementation in general seems nice.
