      Enum<?> excessiveConstant(String name)
      Called when an enum constant is read from stream that does not exist in this enum.

      This method will be called on an arbitrary enum constant. An exception will be thrown if this enum is empty (because this method won't be able to return anything anyway).

      Parameters:
      name - The name read from stream
      Returns:
      The renamed enum constant or null if the read string is invalid. If the returned Enum is not an instance of this enum type an exception will be thrown.
