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? My only concern is that whatever you do does not break transitivity of ==. Aside from that, I will be happy with whatever you end up with and use it as appropriate.

It will not be broken.
