Maybe there is a use for it in the dbugintf unit?

eg:

  SendInteger(counter)

result on the debug server would then possibly be something like...

   2011-11-22 Debug: counter = 20

The SendInteger() function will do the identifier-to-string call, not
the developer. But then, the parameter name might be used, and not the
original identifier name - not sure.


Anyway, currently you have to do the following in dbugintf...

   SendInteger('counter', counter);


I find this annoying, but with CodeTools+SyncroEdit I have managed to
reduce my type too. :-)
