flufl.enum disallows this:

Has it been decided that this is now allowed? If this is indeed the case, then
Color(1) is a problem. The options are:
At this point I think the best course is to not allow duplicates directly in the enum definition, but allow them after
the fact:
--> class Color(Enum):
... red = 1
... green = 2
... blue = 3
--> Color.grene = Color.green # stupid legacy typo
This gives us both some protection against accidental duplicates, while still allowing them when necessary; also, no
confusion about which is the canonical name.
