[issue18924] Enum members are easily replaced

[Eric Snow]

Eric Snow added the comment:

I'm also -1, though I do appreciate the "indicating intent" argument.  What's the risk that someone will accidentally overwrite an enum item?  Also, is there other enum functionality that relies on the continued existence of the initial enum items?  If not then I'm in the "consenting adults" camp.  Eli makes a good point about the potential for (ultimately) unnecessary complexity and what that costs us.

However, now's the time to come to a conclusion--before the 3.4 release (and likely beta 1) lock in the API.
