I will change it to

	4.2. Enumeration constants, #define constants,
	     and non-function-like macros

and change 4.1 to

	4.1. Functions, function-like macros, and variables

Note that macros like LABEL(), LVALUE_CAST(), etc.
are neither function-like macros nor #define constants.

The need for `MR_' or `ML_' prefixes is mentioned separately
(in section 4.5).
