I think converting PersistenceState to enum would result in a too
serious breakage of backwards compatibility, so I am not so sure we
should be changing this now. Maybe in 3.0 we just start by deprecating
the "int" based API, and introducing enum based alternative without
removing the old methods or changing the ivars?
