[fpc-pascal] Scoped enums and inferred types

  but you still need to read the identifiers and when they are too long, 
that takes time, too


> How does that look?

No idea how it looked, but it could look like this:

uses definingUnit.TTileSortingFlag;

-> you need to write TTileSortingFlag.Static

uses definingUnit.TTileSortingFlag.Static;

or

uses definingUnit.TTileSortingFlag.*;

-> you can just write Static


Alternatively:

with TTileSortingFlag do

to just write Static
Bye,
Benito
