I don't know if isManifestConstant is the best name, but it's the official
term, and I'm sure that a large portion of the regular newsgroup goers know
what it is, not just the compiler devs. I don't know how many outside that
group would know it however. Still, given that it's the official name, and that
we don't really _have_ another name, I think that I'd still be in favor of
isManifestConstant. And if we have isManifestConstant and isEnumType and no
isEnum, then we avoid all of the confusion surrounding what exactly an enum is.
And it's not like it will be hard for the docs to explain the terms.
