Another option is to check if the item is a descriptor (class, static, property, or other); yet another option is to 
check if the item is the type of the enum class (int for IntEnum, str for StrEnum, etc.).

The code I posted earlier checks for callable and type -- checking for descriptor also would not be much more effort.
