Is it possible to extend an enumeration, while preserving strong type
checking? In other words, given existing code like
type TUpstreamServerCapabilitiesBase= (uscConnected, uscCanIssueGUID);
TLocalServerCapabilitiesBase= (lscConnected, lscCanIssueGUID,
lscIsFirebird);
TUpstreamServerCapabilities= set of
TUpstreamServerCapabilitiesBase;
TLocalServerCapabilities= set of TLocalServerCapabilitiesBase;
can the common parts of those enumerations- whether a connection was
initially established and so on- be moved into a common declaration,
preferably using "classical" Pascal so that I can store capabilities as
a set?
