"Display" or "Description" attribute for enum values allowing multiple usage

Question

I’d like to use an attribute for parsing strings to enum values (something like in this question), but I’d like to use multiple strings for each enum value, e.g.:

enum Foo
{
    [SomeAttribute("A BAR")]
    [SomeAttribute("The BAR")]
    Bar,
    [SomeAttribute("A BUZZ")]
    [SomeAttribute("The BUZZ")]
    Buzz
}

That means that I cannot use Description nor DisplayName because they have AllowMultiple=false.

I know that it is simple to create my own attribute, but:

Does the .NET framework already contain a suitable attribute that I can use for this?

No it doesn't. Go with creating your own attribute.
