We'd have Insect.wasp == Insect.bee < Insect.ant but Insect.wasp is not Insect.bee. can't define two names in the same enum to have the same value, per the PEP.

For current flufl.enum implementations this requires values to be hashable. An alternative implementation can use comparability (which already required for repr() and iteration).
