But this is a similar issue like the one from this report (check all 
different IFDEFs for the "biggest" type)...
http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=28317
So probably not to be solved.

Otherwise IMO the comparison of base types and using the aliases from 
the definitions is the cleanest way to do it.
What if I use my own aliases that won't be supported by CodeTools or if 
I redefine the usual aliases (I know, bad idea, but still)? The "compare 
base types - use aliases" approach will still work.
