Hi Levi,

As part of this effort can we refactor the IS_LONG, IS_ARRAY,
IS_OBJECT, etc macros to use an enum? Maybe `zend_type_code` if you
like the `code` name for it? Also we already use "kind" in the AST;
should it be `ZEND_TYPE_KIND` and `zend_type_kind` instead?

C's enum members always have the type `int`. However, typically PHP uses the smaller `zend_uchar` for representing a type code. I guess this is why we don't use an enum already.

Having a typedef of zend_uchar for this purpose would be great, though. It would make some function signatures more obvious (e.g. is_numeric_string and friends return a zend_uchar for the type of the result, and it'd be clearer this is the case).

Thanks.
