Part of this issue (#1) was intended to be addressed by https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/22221 which added an `__iter__` implementation to Flag and IntFlag.  (The PR did not reference this issue, and was already merged last month.)

However that PR seems problematic on several counts:
   1. `__iter__` diverges from the existing `__contains__`.  The latter includes 0 and compound values
   2. the implementation is fairly heavy
   3. len() on an enum instance is going to be O(n)

I've put post-merge comments on the PR.

I think it would be safer to have an explicitly named `bits()` iterator on flag instances, rather than use `__iter__()`.
