Or maybe just...

	i386_instructions = enum('add', 'sub', 'mul', ...)
	pentium_instructions = enum(i386_instructions, 'addf', 'subf',
'mulf', ...)
	athlon64_instructions = enum(pentium_instructions, 'add64',
'sub64', ...)
	myprocessor_instructions = enum('foo', 'bar', 'baz', ...)
	all_instructions = enum(athlon64_instructions,
myprocessor_instructions)

...and it could infer from the type that it's another enum to be
included. Also...

	(i386_instructions.add == pentium_instructions.add ==
athlon64_instructions.add == all_instructions.add) == True

...and so on.

outros povos sem travar batalha, toma cidades fortificadas dos outros
povos sem as atacar e destrói os estados dos outros povos sem lutas
prolongadas. Deve lutar sob o Céu com o propósito primordial da
'preservação'. Desse modo suas armas não se embotarão, e os ganhos
poderão ser preservados. Essa é a estratégia para planejar ofensivas."
