This is from versioning.html, note "enumerated constants":
Minor releases can introduce new functions, new symbolic and
enumerated constants, and deprecate existing functions.
I was very careful to check that before introducing the the new

the pros and cons of doing that. The cons included a choice between
revving half of our APIs, or keeping two distinct enumerations.)
