I'm the one who said I didn't see any obvious barriers to the merger, but I've realised there is one, and it's similar to one namedtuple struggles with: how to handle method definitions.

There is at least one more problem, enum inheritance, given:

class Colors(Enum): red = 1 green = 2 blue = 3

class MoreColors(Color): cyan = 4 magenta = 5 yellow = 6

what type is MoreColors.red?
