Description
The def finalize(self): method in RewritePybind11EnumValueRepr is a bit confusing.
I wish it explained why it couldn't automatically locate the "enum class location". I'd prefer not to have to hardcode the --enum-class-locations argument in the build yml.
Update: It seems that my issue is related to an enum containing a "None_" value. It works when that value is commented out in the bindings, but fails when the value is included in the Enum.

Research direction
Start with the def finalize(self) method in RewritePybind11EnumValueRepr and reproduce the warning using bindings with an enum value named None_. Compare the behavior with that value commented out. Done means the warning explains why the enum class location cannot be found without requiring a hardcoded --enum-class-locations argument.
