Please no. Enums are not special enough to break the rules.

Good: "Doctests look at the object's repr."

Bad: "Doctests look at an object's repr, unless the object is an Enum, when it will look at the enum's value."

If I want a test that checks the enum's value, then I will write a doctest that explicitly checks the enum's value.
