Yeah I cheated and used a macro. ...and that’s why we should allow for macros 
as a fail safe in times of distress...

Only through macro ATM, I believe. Note that case statement body does NOT
expect a set (it expects values, list of values and/or range of values),
despite the very similar look (missing enclosing angle brackets only), hence
the inability to do what you want.

I suspect you may need to use sets and the "in" operator.

[fpc-pascal] List of chars for case

Is there a way to make a constant for a list of chars which I can use in a case 
statement? I’ve got a bunch of code duplication happening I’d like to clean up.

const
  TChars = ('[', ']', '(', ')', '{', '}', '=', ‘:’);
