//! =============================
//! <dl>
//!   <dt>Family</dt>
//!   <dd>A group of related symbolic constants. Typically, within a single
//!       family, one function will be used to transform a numeric value to a
//!       string equivalent, and another will perform the inverse operation.
//!       Families include POSIX signals and Mach exception masks.</dd>
//!   <dt>Full name</dt>
//!   <dd>The normal symbolic name used for a constant. For example, in the
//!       family of POSIX signals, the strings `"SIGHUP"` and `"SIGSEGV"` are
//!       full names.</dd>
//!   <dt>Short name</dt>
//!   <dd>An abbreviated form of symbolic name used for a constant. Short names
//!       vary between families, but are commonly constructed by removing a
//!       common prefix from full names. For example, in the family of POSIX
//!       signals, the prefix is `SIG`, and short names include `"HUP"` and
//!       `"SEGV"`.</dd>
//!   <dt>Numeric string</dt>
//!   <dd>A string that does not contain a full or short name, but contains a
//!       numeric value that can be interpreted as a symbolic constant. For
//!       example, in the family of POSIX signals, `SIGKILL` generally has value
//!       `9`, so the numeric string `"9"` would be interpreted equivalently to
//!       `"SIGKILL"`.</dd>
