Depends on your definition of "broken". If you want to make a custom
integer type, you'll probably find that arithmetic operations on it
just return vanilla ints again, but in this case, it seems to be more
akin to IntEnum than to an arithmetic type. so it should be safe.

But that said: why not just use IntEnum? It looks like the purpose of
it is simply to be a name for a number, and that's something that an
enum does well (even if it's not strictly "enumerated" in that sense).
