The change looks good to me.

It's odd that the enum type is called 'Name' while the function is named 
'kind', but I see that other places uses that duality as well. Maybe we 
could clean that up in a separate change.

There's also another list of GC names containing the value 'Abstract'. 
See: MemoryManager:Name.

Thanks,
