For extra confusion it also depends on whether the enum/flag is public
API (exposed in an installed header) or 'internal element' API.

For public API it's like Nicolas says, because g-i/bindings use the
'name' part. For internal enums/flags we abuse the name part as a
description. Compare the "flags" property and the "video-multiview-
flags" property in "gst-inspect-1.0 playbin3" for example.
