Yes, but the correct answer to this is to not overload the word "enum" with two
different meanings. Unfortunately, this ship has long sailed, but this still
doesn't mean that we should repeat this mistake in the standard library,
further adding confusion. If you don't like the term manifest constant, maybe
isEnumConstant/isEnumType?
