The `FromPyObject` derivation for enums generates code that tries to extract the variants in the
order of the fields. As soon as a variant can be extracted succesfully, that variant is returned.
This makes it possible to extract Python types like `Union[str, int]`.
The same customizations and restrictions described for struct derivations apply to enum variants,
i.e. a tuple variant assumes that the input is a Python tuple, and a struct variant defaults to
