[Lazarus] How do I tell codetools to use implicitly loaded unit for code complesion?

[Michael Ring]

Hi Mattias, unfortunately I did not see your answer back in July.

I did some digging myself and found GetHiddenUsedUnits.

The rule to make loading happen is that target os is "embedded" fpc 
version >= 2.7.1 and the value of the option -Wp determines which unit 
to load.

Example: -Wppic32mx795f512h

should load unit pic32mx795f512h

to make life a (very little) harder the fully correct rule for selecting 
the right unit is:

search for uppercase(-WpVALUE) in array embeddedcontrollers (defined in 
[arm,mipsel,avr]/cpuinfo.pas) and load the unit with name defined in the 
field controllerunitstr

Is something like this doable?

I already hardcoded the unit for my testing purposes (Works fine), but 
failed to find a way to get the value of the -Wp switch in 
GetHiddenUsedUnits.
