Actually, the (nice!) metaclass examples in descrintro are autoprop and 
autosuper -- the Singleton example is just a base class that overrides 
__new__ (and implements a "classic" Singleton, not a Borg), and I
can't see anything there about enumerations.  It's easy to write 
metaclasses for each of these purposes, of course -- the issue with
autoenum is mostly one of defining what features you require and finding a 
syntax sugar you like, and similarly for autoborg.
