That would be sufficient if we were just talking single enumeration
values.  But we're talking sets of them, which is really when the
library comes in.  Note that it is designed in such a way that you
don't need to import it, even when you use the bytes I/O libraries,
except when you manipulate the sets.  If you want to ditch
enumerations, you need to include a proposal for what to do in that
case.
