Thanks guys!
WriteStr() was the function I was looking for.
I found some places in Lazarus code where it is used but not many. Martin's
debugger code has some.
I think many lookup string arrays in Lazarus code could be replaces
with WriteStr. It would reduce code size and improve code maintenance.

If I understand right WriteStr uses RTTI internally. So, every enum type
already carries the string representation at run-time. The explicit lookup
array is duplicate data.
