Now with enumerations in the stdlib the stat module constants are candidates for flag enumerations. How easy will be implement it on C? Aha. Should an internal C module fetch the value of the constants, and a public stat.py nicely wrap them in enums? But aren't most of these masks? enum.IntEnum doesn't handle those very gracefully (the | operator returns a plain int).
As is, IntEnum would not be a great choice.
We could either add a another Enum (BitMaskEnum?) that was also int-based, or flesh out IntEnum with enough smarts to handle |, &, and ^ and return an IntEnum when possible and fall back to a plain int when not possible.
