+Omitting values
+---------------
+
+In many use-cases one doesn't care what the actual value of an enumeration
+is. To define this type of simple enumeration, use :class:`object`
+to generate unique values. This signifies to the user that these values
+are not important. With this construction, one can add, remove, and reorder
+members without having to renumber the remaining members::
+
+    >>> from enum import Enum
+    >>> class Color(Enum):
+    ...     red = object()
+    ...     green = object()
+    ...     blue = object()
+    ...
