 Why was 'nightly' not added, too?

 didn’t think of even adding it was because if you install a nightly, it
 stays on nightly forever, there’s no need to opt-in through the constant.

 So I propose this to be implemented, at least 'development'. Reasons:
 1. Completeness
 2. Possibility to run a testing site, running latest development version
 ("nightly builds"), without the Beta Tester plugin.
