As for the Delphi problem, it's second-hand information I heard
from a friend who uses Delphi at work and something about not
handling out-of-range enumerations was a deal-breaker from not
using FPC. I may have some details wrong though. But all that
side, would development of an intrinsic be an acceptable
solution, and what name are we going for? (One has to be careful
we don't break existing code if possible)
