I'm good with the naming, but how would you define those ? I may have
trouble to discern between IS_ENABLED() and IS_ENABLED_BUILTIN().

IS_ENABLED() would mean not disabled, i.e. either 'y' or 'm'.
IS_ENABLED_BUILTIN() would mean 'y' and only 'y' and IS_ENABLED_MODULE()
would mean 'm'. For boolean options, IS_ENABLED() would be equivalent to
IS_ENABLED_BUILTIN() and IS_ENABLED_MODULE() would be always false.

how would IS_ENABLED() behave on CONFIG_FOO, with FOO being S_STRING
or, say, S_HEX ?

It would fail to compile, because the helper macros are only defined for boolean and tristate symbols.
