Bug Report
I stumbled across a weird issue with literals and using the .name property with enums. I was wondering if this is expected behavior. Seems inconsistent to me.

To Reproduce

from enum import Enum
from typing import Literal


class Foo(Enum):
    A = 1
    B = 1


keys = Literal["A", "B", "C"]


def f(name: keys) -> None:
    print(name)


foo: Foo = Foo.A

f(foo.name) # Error: Argument 1 to "f" has incompatible type "str"; expected "Literal['A', 'B', 'C']"
f(Foo.A.name) # No Error

Expected Behavior

I would expect both versions to be valid.
