I suggested 'identifier' because that's the term used in the C spec (6.2.1):
: An identifier can denote an object; a function; a tag or a member
: of a structure, union, or enumeration; a typedef name; a label name;
: a macro name; or a macro parameter.
We don't allow documenting all those things separately, but it does cover
all the things we do allow to be individually documented.
