It is currently not obvious, reading :mod:`argparse` documentation, that :meth:`argparse.ArgumentParser.add_argument` could accept as 'choices' parameter an :class:`enum.Enum`.
However, it seems (at least to me) that this 'choices' parameter [1] is the perfect candidat of enums usage (see [2]).

So I suggest here to explicitly mention and illustrate such usage in current Python documentation. As far I as could test, such usage works at least with Python 3.5, 3.7, and 3.8.

A small patch on 'master' branches is in progress, and should shortly be available as a GitHub pull-request.
