[Python-ideas] Allow Enum members to refer to each other during execution of body

[Antony Lee]

In the current version, they work with a custom __init__ (though of course, 
as long as the actual arguments that need to be passed to __init__ are 
provided, the pre-declared members are just "empty").  They do not work 
with a custom __new__ (not sure how I could make this work, given that at 
declaration time an "empty" member needs to be created but we don't know 
what arguments we need to pass to __new__...).
As a side effect, however, the whole patch adds a new requirement: custom 
__new__s must be defined before the members themselves; otherwise they 
won't be called, for the same reason as above: if I don't know what __new__ 
is, I can't call it...
