Enum with nested classes or with types as members

Greetings!
So the stdlib Enum has been around for a few years now. Has anyone
written an enum that either had types as members:
class Types(Enum):
Int = int
Str = str
or that had nested classes:
class Types(Enum):
class Contained(Enum):
circle = 1
square = 2
class style:
something = 'yay!'
?
If you have, why? Were you able to do everything you wanted, or did you
have to work around any issues?
I'm asking because in doing some work on Enum it became apparent to me
that having nested classes was not a smooth, satisfying experience, and
I'm considering treating them the same way as methods (they will no
longer be converted into members).
So if you use that functionality, tell me now! :)
