I'm CCing Julien Desfossez on this one. From what I see,
include/babeltrace/types.h is not included into the system, so it should
not be considered to be a public header of libbabeltrace.

Julien, is there an publically exposed babeltrace API that performs
something similar to the internal lookup_enum() ?

Hui, are you using other functions from include/babeltrace/types.h ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
