I'm not against using an extra library, I just don't see the need of
using a library to define enum. That's why I'm bothered.

Oh, I didn't know. I thought auto() just returns a simple unique
number. I have a question about that.

    x = Platform.DISCORD
    print(x)

What does the print() statement show?

And if it shows something about DISCORD. How does it save the
information about DISCORD by only defining it as:

    DISCORD = enum.auto()

Care to explain?
