Glad you made this pronouncement in this way, because otherwise there
would be ambiguity in the case:
class Color(Enum):
red = 'white'
white = 'blue'
blue = 'red'
although that would no doubt drive the programmers batty anyway... but there
may be instances where code is generated that could produce something
ambiguous, even though this example is atrocious.
