[Python-Dev] mention aenum in the Enum docs?

A comment on a recent SO answer [1] wondered why my aenum library wasn't mentioned in the docs to help guide people that 
needed/wanted more advanced Enum options to it.  I responded that Python was not in the habit of mentioning third-party 
libraries in the docs.

However, I thought I would double-check here to see if it might be a good idea.

Pros:
- drop-in replacement for the stdlib Enum
- has many advanced features such as
   - auto __init__ building
   - multi-value members
   - duplicate value but non-aliasing members
   - etc.
- I'm the primary/only maintainer for both

Cons:
- third-party library

Thoughts?
