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

[Michael Ring]

Thank you for the hint on macros, I will see if I can come up with a patch.

The lookup of the controllerunitstr looks like the 'right' solution, for 
my purposes it would be enough to simply add the value of -Wp, but this 
would only help for mipsel target, for arm there usually exists a 
mapping from the controller model to a more generalized unit.

How do you import definitions like those, do you duplicate the code from 
fpc or do you use the units provided by fpc?

If you duplicate the code it is perhaps better to also make the unit 
files match the controller names in fpc so that the list of controllers 
does not need to get implemented in both fpc and lazarus.
