i was reading about the "new" enums feature here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/models/fields/#enumeration-
types
And wanted to utilize it. However i tried to use `is` to check for
equality rather than `in`. That made it impossible to utilize before i
realized that the returned type from the CharField is, naturally, a char,
and that i could check for equality with `in`: `self.year_in_school in
self.YearInSchool.JUNIOR`
This probably isn't the most beautiful thing though, and it wasn't really
stated that this is the defacto way to check for equality (lest i use
`self.year_in_school in self.YearInSchool.JUNIOR.value`.
It would be quite nice if the `self.year_in_school` type actually was of
type ENUM, or atleast had documented how you could check for equality with
them.
The current solution seems, sadly, hacky at best.
