Given that the !r and !s format codes can be used to get the repr and str of an IntEnum, would it be acceptable to have IntEnum's format simply pass through to int's format? And likewise with all mix-in classes?

That helps with str.format(), but not with built-in format(). There, you'd have to explicitly call str() or repr():

'{:10}'.format(True) ' 1' format(True, '10') ' 1'

'{!s:10}'.format(True) 'True ' format(str(True), '10') 'True '
