The documentation in array.c and enum.c uses the terms elements and objects
inconsistently. Currently there are 100 elements and 18 objects in array.c
and 59 elements and 21 objects in enum.c. I think element is the most
widely-used term for things in an array. For enum I can see the argument for
object given the range of things that can be enumerable, but wikipedia uses
element to refer to the things that are being enumerated. Should I make
everything in array.c element and everything in enum.c object, or just
everything element? Or something else?

Thanks,
Loren
