[fpc-pascal] Dot syntax for types?

I remember I heard about a mode switch that requires "type groups” (what are these called btw?) to use a . and be prefixed. For example:

type
	TGLType = (GL_FLOAT, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE);


TGLType.GL_FLOAT would be the full name (note GL_FLOAT already is declared so I want the type to be explicitly TGLType.GL_FLOAT in all cases). I need to make some wrappers around OpenGL types and I thought this would be a nice way to do it instead of declaring a bunch of constants with prefixes but I just can’t remember how to handle that dot syntax (maybe it’s in the trunk under development). Thanks.

Regards,
