Has it been decided that this is now allowed? If this is indeed the
case, then Color(1) is a problem. The options are:
A. Return either Color.red or Color.green
B. Throwing an error
Do we have a decision on this? Personally I think the latter is
better; the former is error prone and doesn't seem to be useful too often.

Would you disallow this too?
class Color(Enum):
red = 1
blue = 2
Color.green = Color.red
IMO the more Pythonic behavior would be to allow multiple names for the
same value, and your example should produce the same result as my
example. I'm not convinced enums are special enough to break the rules.
