I think it's okay to leave these as 0, 1, 2 because they have a long and well 
known tradition across multiple languages.  The named versions are just 
alternatives available for end-users.  The numbered forms also let us avoid a 
bunch of otherwise unnecessary imports (which affect start-up time and 
occasionally create load order bootstrapping issues).

Antoine, what do you think?
