I suppose.

Perhaps even add _ADDRESS to DUMP_PREFIX_UNHASHED, but this maybe too
long.

I think DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS_UNHASHED is too long.
What about introducing new two like these:

DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET,
DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS,
DUMP_PREFIX_ADDR_UNHASHED,
DUMP_PREFIX_ADDR_HASHED,

I think we're approaching bike-shedding. DUMP_PREFIX_ADDR_HASHED and DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS are the same thing.

I don't want people to have to move from DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS to some other enum for no change in functionality. I'm willing to rearrange the code so that it's enumerated more consistently, but I don't think there's anything wrong with DUMP_PREFIX_UNHASHED. It's succinct and clear.
