Postgresql has ENUM within CREATE TYPE:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/datatype-enum.html

I'm not sure if this is a "DOMAIN" behind the scenes or what.   This
SQL syntax is directly supported with the PG ENUM type:
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/dialects/postgresql.html?highlight=enum#enum-types
 which is also available from the generic enum type:
https://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/type_basics.html#sqlalchemy.types.Enum,
as long as native_enum=True on that object.

Enum is pretty popular so it should work well.
