This useless appearing code was necessary to allow people to use named constants for the elidable annotation. This is what it takes to convince the compiler to fold the constants: otherwise when it's time to check an elision level it's staring at a tree like
(Select(Level, Select(FINEST, Apply(intValue, Nil))))instead of the number 300.

The levels ALL and OFF are confusing in this context because
the sentiment being expressed when using the annotation is at cross
purposes with the one being expressed via -Xelide-below.
The levels ALL and OFF are confusing in this context because
the sentiment being expressed when using the annotation is at cross
purposes with the one being expressed via -Xelide-below. This
confusion reaches its zenith at level OFF, where the annotation means
never elide this method but -Xelide-below OFF is how you would
say elide everything possible.
With no simple remedy at hand, the issue is now at least documented,
and aliases MAXIMUM and MINIMUM are offered.
