Maybe it would have been better if Enums got told what type
their members are supposed to be, an only decorated things
of that type.

     class Color(Enum):
         __type__ = int
         RED = 1
         GREEN = 2
         BLUE = 3
         i_get_left_alone = 4.2

Or perhaps this could be made to work somehow:

     class Color(Enum(int)):
         RED = 1
         GREEN = 2
         BLUE = 3
         i_get_left_alone = 4.2
