How could I get a useful printout of an objc enum from swift code?

Question

    vp.verifyEmail(self.textClaim) {(OYIDCVerificationStatus status)
        in
        println("verifying email \(self.textClaim) returned \(status)")
    }

yields "verifying email foo@bar returned (Enum Value)" (which obviously is of no practical use). this:

    vp.verifyEmail(self.textClaim) {(OYIDCVerificationStatus status)
        in
        var s : CShort = status as CShort //<- this does not compile
        println("verifying email \(self.textClaim) returned \(s)")
    }

does not compile

VerifyEmailViewController.swift:22:21: 'YOIDCVerificationStatus' is not convertible to 'CShort'

even though the enum is declared like so:

typedef NS_ENUM(short, YOIDCVerificationStatus) {
    Unavailable = -1,
    ClaimRefuted,
    ClaimVerified
};

Would toRaw do what you need?

 vp.verifyEmail(self.textClaim) {(OYIDCVerificationStatus status)
        in
        println("verifying email \(self.textClaim) returned \(status.toRaw())")
    }
