Hmm. It'd certainly make it a bit easier.

However that sparks an idea: Would it be possible for enum *members*
to have a __name__ and a __qualname__? Basically like this:

    >>> QFont.Bold.__name__
    'Bold'
    >>> QFont.Bold.__qualname__
    'QFont.Bold'  # or maybe 'QFont.Weight.Bold'?

That'd basically do what my qenum_key function does, but without all
the guesswork.
