Which raises the question:  Do we want to have a standard name for stdlib Flags when no flags are set?
If you want a flag to represent no flags set, it takes one line to write it yourself, as in this example I copied
verbatim from the docs:
...
...
...
class Color(Flag):
...     BLACK = 0
...     RED = auto()
...     BLUE = auto()
...     GREEN = auto()
...
Color.BLACK

bool(Color.BLACK)
False
Are you suggesting that the standard name for 0 be 'BLACK'?  ;-)
