re ENUMs:

Perhaps the default could to map them to a FrozenSet somehow.

Upon importing extensions it might be be useful to be able
to activate OrderedSet support for them.

OTOH, the actual column value is probably nothing but a
string going back and forth between PostgreSQL and Python.
Isn't the ENUM more like a glorified DOMAIN inside the
database ?  So, perhaps there isn't really much to worry
about and I am making much ado about nothing ?

It strikes me as useful to support something like

   psycopg2.extensions.get_domain_range(table.enum_typed_column)

which would return an OrderedSet :-)

This would come in handy in making applications more data driven.
