AFAICS this breaks API, as the constant names are part of public headers.

AFAICS this breaks API, as the constant names are part of public headers.

So far, we have never promised a stable C++ API. The closest we have come to an explicit API is the set of functions defined in nest.h. We rather focus on stability of the user interface at the Python level.

Furthermore, I'd argue that the names that are changed in nest_types.h ended in _ in the past, marking them as private implementation detail.
