I agree. Comparing values from different Enums could cause a lot of
hard to find bugs.

On the other hand, simply checking in `__cmp__` what Enum both values
belong to (since they do have a `enum` attribute) should allow us to
avoid cross-comparing instead of just raising a TypeError. It's not
very intuitive behavior IMHO.

Just my 2 cents.
