As the switch is a local one you can even mix scoped and unscoped enum declarations in the same unit. The switch is available at least since 3.0.0 though it isn't mentioned in the language reference guide about enums ( https://freepascal.org/docs-html/current/ref/refsu4.html#x26-280003.1.1).

Ah yes enums. {$scopedenums on} was what I was looking for but it looks like even if I remembered what they were called I still wouldn’t have found the switch. Thanks again.
