Parsing "enum" options with optparse-applicative

Viewed 424

How do I implement a parser for this example from grep --help:

 --binary-files=TYPE   assume that binary files are TYPE;
                       TYPE is 'binary', 'text', or 'without-match'

Assuming that I have

data BinaryFiles = Binary | Text | WithoutMatch

How do I write a parser? option auto seems a kludge since Read is supposed to be an "inverse" to Show, and I'd like to keep the derived instance Show BinaryFiles.
