Another example could be parameters. Say a function takes an integer as a parameter to change the object. For instance, a baddy and it's mode. It may be easier for people to understand if they send 'attack' rather than a 3 as a parameter. In essence, the number 3 will still be sent as the parameter but the code will make more sense for the programmer.

Enums are a method of documentation. They have there uses. I think it's much more efficient to use enums to represent integer values rather than creating a TStaticVar() for them.

How about posting examples how it can be useful.
