We already have a bunch of bizarrely unrelated stuff in collections (such as Callable), so we could put enum there too.
Why not just "enum" (i.e., "from enum import [...]" or "import enum.[...]")? Enumerations are one of the basic kinds of types overall (speaking informally and independent of any specific language) - they aren't at all exotic. And "Flat is better than nested", after all.
