Here, you might miss replacing this 'unsigned int' with enum.
(actually, enum is equal to int, not unsigned int)

BTW, would we need such 's' for plural and third person singular for type name?
And also, you should use enum type name for prefix so that other developers
easily find the definition of enumeration, e.g.

enum symbol_tag_include {
	SYMBOL_TAG_INCLUDE__NONE = 0,
	SYMBOL_TAG_INCLUDE__DEFAULT_ONLY
};

Thank you,
