[fpc-pascal] Enum RTTI

Hi

This follows from stuff I read in "[fpc-devel] Re: Testing for..in 
feature". I read, and know from trying, that Low(enum) and High(enum) 
does not work.

Is there any way to achieve the following easily:
1) for enum_first to enum_last do....
2) NumberOfItems(enum)

I very often have enums for which I want string descriptions. I couldn't 
find a way to use RTTI to obtain the string descriptions so I resorted 
to having an array of strings. The problem is that the enums change 
frequently in item count and item order, which means I spend a lot of 
time fixing the string<->enum functions .
