I see in the code of _create_pseudo_member_ that _name_ is deliberately set to None, and furthermore in __str__ and __repr__ the fact that it is None is used to determine whether self is a composite (pseudo) or not. So first question is whether this should be fixed. If so, I see two options: 1. Establish another way to determine whether self is a composite or not, and change they way _name_ is initialised. 2. Leave _name_ as is, but override name (which currently is defined in Enum and simply returns _name_ but can be redefined to do something else).
