I may be misunderstanding the use case given in the issue, but it seems
to me that having to use
Color.red.__class__.blue
(what is being complained about in the issue), while not exactly pretty,
makes a lot more semantic sense than
Color.red.blue
... which is just bizarre.
Enum members aren't class attributes, even if the way they're defined
makes them look as though they are. Allowing this is just asking for
more confusion on the part of anyone using them IMHO.
