Wait a moment... it might not be immediately useful for IntEnums (however, that's because base Enum currently defines int which I find questionable),

And broken. And unnecessary. :)

class Foo(Enum): ... a = 'a' ... b = 'b' ... int(Foo.a) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: int returned non-int (type str)

...remove Enum.int()...

class Bar(int, Enum): ... a = 1 ... b = 2 ... int(Bar.a) 1

So yes, Enum.int() should be removed.
