oh, it's writeln which is doing the runtime check, thanks. Doing math on enums
is probably not a smart idea though. I wonder why a subscript like [] was never
added to enums. It would be nice to do:
f := Fruit[banana.index + 1];
instead of dealing with raw values. A runtime check for creating enums was
ordinals would be smart also, like:
f := Fruit.Create(10);
instead of blindly cast ordinals to enums which may be invalid.
