/* Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those! */
There are two ways to avoid name conflicts: prefixes and namespaces. Programming languages that lacks namespaces (such as C) need to use prefixes. For example: PROTOCOL_SSLv2, PROTOCOL_SSLv3, PROTOCOL_SSLv23. Python used the same prefixed names when reflect C constants to module level Python globals. But when convert integer constants to IntEnum, is it needed to preserve common prefix? Or may be we can drop it, because enum class name plays its role?
class Protocol(IntEnum): PROTOCOL_SSLv2 = ... PROTOCOL_SSLv3 = ... PROTOCOL_SSLv23 = ...
or
class Protocol(IntEnum): SSLv2 = ... SSLv3 = ... SSLv23 = ...
? Protocol.PROTOCOL_SSLv2 or Protocol.SSLv2?
