Yeah, it may not be as tricky as I feared: adding "not
callable(attr_val)" to the conditions for deciding whether or not to
convert a class attribute to an instance of the enum would likely
suffice to address the method problem.
You couldn't create an enum of callables, but that would be a
seriously weird thing to do anyway....
