[bv-dev] Making ElementDescriptor.Kind a top-level type

Experts, Currently the enumeration Kind (as returned by ElementDescriptor#getKind()) is an inner enum of the ElementDescriptor interface. In order to allow for its future re-use in other contexts, independent from element descriptors, it seems reasonable to make this a top-level type. Unfortunately the natural names, ElementKind and ElementType are taken by JDK types, and if possible we should avoid a collision with these. Candidates are * ConstrainedElementKind * ValidatedElementKind Any preferences or other suggestions? Thanks, --Gunnar
