Thanks for the summary. One issue I don't see addressed here is int-compatibility. Am I correct to assume that nothing changes w.r.t. that, and that an IntEnum subclass of Enum will be provided which is isinstance(integer)? Does that become straightforward by nature of enum values being the type of their enumerations?

Correct, we'll still need an IntEnum subclass of Enum. I have no idea how this works out in the implementation, sorry.
