BTW, the usefulness is to group sub-enums into the same range.
This would make it easy/efficient to branch over a range in the
enum:
if (v in colors.Red) { v is a color in red }
instead of
if (v is color.Red || v is color.RedOrange || ...)
I guess a more intelligent structure is needed so changes in the enum do not break binaries. (although this is already somewhat of an issue with enums as changes in order requires a re-compilation)
