I think that's a good plan. One big benefit for me is that it's much
easier to search for an enum than for a single letter
constant. Including searching for all the places that deal with any sort
of logical rep message type.

I think if we have the LOGICAL_REP_MSG_BEGIN we don't need the /* BEGIN */.
