#   Constants: Members
#
#   The class is implemented as a blessed arrayref.  The following constants are its members.
#
#       TYPE  - The symbol <TopicType>.
#       PROTOTYPE  - The symbol's prototype, if applicable.  Will be undef otherwise.
#       SUMMARY - The symbol's summary, if applicable.  Will be undef otherwise.
#
use constant TYPE => 0;
use constant PROTOTYPE => 1;
use constant SUMMARY => 2;
# New depends on the order of the constants.
