That's only relevant for the make_enum() convenience function.  For the class
syntax, you pick the values.

OT1H, make_enum() is *just* a convenience, so if you really want to start from
0, use the class syntax.  OTOH, it would probably be trivial to add an `iter`
keyword argument to make_enum() from which it could pull the integer sequence
to use.  That would be better than adding something like range()'s crazy
api. :)
