Python Support for Enum Property Labels

The bpy.props.EnumProperty item supports a few types of items, using tuples for selectable items, None for separator, empty tuples with an index number for a new row, which is still good, but one big thing it lacks is the ability for labels, which currently can only be used in the C code. What I propose is exposing the enum property label item to the python API, and using it by adding a string item to it. Below is an example of an enum without labels, and then an example of how labels could be added to enum properties if this feature were added. enum labels example.png Also, if anyone has any other ideas about other enum property items that could be added or exposed, I'd love to hear about it.
