That was my first reaction too.
Then it occurred to me that *some* people might still be clued into that subtlety if they happened to ask themselves why there are predicates for _is_frozen and _is_unfrozen.
But in the end I think I decided that an enum isn't subtle like that at all and clearly forgot to reply with that.
