[Python-ideas] A Simpler Enum For Python 3

Please call it something like "magic enum" rather than "simple enum" - the
reason we rejected that design for the PEP is because it is anything *but*
simple and breaks most standard assumptions about how class bodies work.

(If you look at the enum discussion threads, this syntax was proposed *and*
implemented prior to acceptance of the design in the PEP)

Cheers,
Nick.
