Description
Currently enums compare equal with == but not with is.
I think it would be good if enums would be singletons like None instead.

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the enum binding implementation and existing comparison behavior; done means enum instances provide singleton-style identity with is while preserving the expected equality behavior.
