I like that actually, thanks. There’s a number of these 1 indexed enums but I think this trick will work in most cases.

I know some languages have the convention where you can set just the first index of the first value to set the indexing. That would be a good feature to add to Pascal so we can still publish the enums safely for APIs that have 1 indexing.

 TDiagnosticSeverity = ( Error = 1,
                         Warning,
                         Information,
                         Hint
                         );
