[New-bugs-announce] [issue23591] Add IntFlags

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

Here is preliminary implementation of IntFlags (no docs). This is an int subclass purposed to represent a set of integer flags. It supports named constants (as IntEnum), supports bitwise operations (&, |, ~) and has funny str and repr. See discussion on Python-Ideas [1].

The patch includes tests and few examples of using IntFlags in the stdlib.
