Thanks for the proposal, Shai. I quite like it.

As discussed at the DCEU sprints I think I'd like to be able to omit the 
display form of an item and have it auto generated from an item's name, i.e. 
turning "FOO_BAR" into "Foo Bar" (`key.replace("_", " ").title()`)

Further, we could also simplify the Fields API more and do this:

    class Card(models.Model):
        suit = models.IntegerField(choices=Suit)

Cheers,

/Markus
