Documentation

Enum._add_alias_ and_add_value_alias_ were added in Python 3.13, but this is not clearly pointed out in the documentation:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html#enum.EnumType._add_alias_

There is an "Added in version 3.13" marker way down in theSupported _sunder_ names section, but this is unlikely to be discovered by someone looking at the documentation here.

Also, these methods are documented as being members ofEnumType, while in reality, they are members ofEnum:

Finally, examples for these functions would help to understand their purpose.
