Good point.  Well, it could be

typedef enum {
  METADATA_SURFACE = 0, /* get the metadata for just this URI */
  METADATA_DEEP = 1,    /* get the metadata for this URI and its
children */
} GnomeVFSMetadataDepth;

But other words can be used to describe the tip of the iceberg (_TIP, 
_TOP) against the core (_CORE, _UNDER).

   So I suppose the maintainer should be able to pick the nicest ones
