I don't know about the former, but I believe it will raise syntax
errors whenever cdef enum would be invalid. I don't know if it checks
whether there is a corresponding .pyx when it is cimported, perhaps
Vitja can comment on that.

Yes, especially cdef extern: cpdef enum is very useful (and
implemented), when you want to expose C constants to Python.
