That is similar to what I was playing around with but you still need to call it like
var x = MyEnum.SomeValue.ToSelectList();
I was hoping to just say
var x = MyEnum.ToSelectList(); or var x = EnumEx.ToSelectList(MyEnum);
But it doesn't let you. I think I understand why...but I still think it's dumb.
