Names for Enumerations?

What about setting names to enumerations?
Code: Select all
Enumeration Foo
#hello
#there
EndEnumeration
Debug Foo\#hello
Debug Foo\#there
But I don't no it's useful to use '#' furthermore.
Another idea is to make it like the following code:
Code: Select all
Enumeration Foo
#hello
#there
EndEnumeration
Debug #Foo_hello
Debug #Foo_there

Your second example is no different to :
Code: Select all
Enumeration
#Foo_hello
#Foo_there
EndEnumeration
Debug #Foo_hello
Debug #Foo_there
Your first notion seems to be heading towards the VB style of enumeration which is a typed variable rather than a simple listing of constants. Personally I have never really seen the point of the VB enumerated type. Perhaps that's just me though!
However, mixing the VB type with PB's use of the enumeration to assist with constants is pretty much a non-goer I reckon!
Beside's, any alteration to the Enumeration / EndEnumeration compiler construct will kill just about every program I have ever written and I will in turn kill whoever is responsible for such an alteration!!!

Good idea, but only with compilercheck of parameter:
Code: Select all
Enumeration Foo
#hello
#there
EndEnumeration
Debug Foo\#hello
Debug Foo\#there
Procedure bla(first.Foo, second.l)
EndProcedure

Another Problem: Enumeration already HAS arguments.
Code: Select all
Enumeration [<constant> [Step <constant>]]
