Thanks Fred and to all discussants.

It's okay with me that the compiler can't recognize everything.
However, in the case of a select case statement in connection with constants, a warning would not be bad.

Interesting, thanks very much Caronte3D. I'd seen Bool() before but didn't see its potential at the time. It seems odd to me though, because Bool() appears in the documentation as a compiler function, which perhaps had lead me to believe it was a compile-time feature, but quite clearly that isn't the case, as it's indeed working well at runtime, the way you've done it.

Yeah! Put a Bool in your life and be happy!
