[docs] [issue23292] Enum doc suggestion

New submission from Mark Summerfield:

I think it would be worth documenting
globals().update(MyEnumeration.__members__) in the "Interesting
Examples" section of the enum docs.

I suspect that most people will find that importing enums is annoying
because they'll get

import A
print(A.MyEnumeration.MAX)

when they're more used to

import A
print(A.MAX)

Of course the latter is easily achieved using the globals().update()
trick (as used in signals.py in 3.5).

Georg suggested I add this to the tracker.
