Pascal sets can only contain values/enumerations whose ordinal value is

As currently new language features are discussed I would vote to drop (or
relax to some K ) this limitation. This would not break any existing code.
What if someone is storing a set in a file, or a stream? Old version
saves it, new version reads it, and all of the sudden the data isn't in the
same format.
Yes, this would be a problem. But wouldn't this be an acceptable price for
the improvement?
No, it is not that simple. Lazarus would stop working completely.
