Nice thats even shorter :-)
So following on from this, what happens when you want to do something
like this
TMyStatus = (Active, Pending, Ended, Paused, Deleted, Suspended);
TLogLevel = (Normal,Error,Ended);
This will cause an error as Ended appears twice.
How you can you get around this?

Also, Delphi can do this for you using RTTI - this is how enum
properties work inside .dfms i.e. translating to/from string constants.
Uses
TypInfo;
ShowMessage(GetEnumName(TypeInfo(TMyStatus), Integer(Status));
TTFN,
