As mentioned in #101273 , when mixing data types into an enum, the data type's methods can be lost:

from enum import StrEnum, auto

class Book(StrEnum):
    author = auto()
    title = auto()
    isbn = auto()

Book.author
# <Book.author: 'author'>

Book.author.title()
# book object not callable exception, but 'Author' is expected

This is a long-standing issue, so not going to backport any fix.

For example:

    class Book(StrEnum):
        title = auto()
        author = auto()
        desc = auto()

    Book.author.desc is Book.desc

but

    Book.author.title() == 'Author'

is commonly expected.  Using upper-case member names avoids this confusion and possible performance impacts.
