Yes, I'll change the array to TAvlTree, indexed by type/alias name and 
an order/position number. Seems to be a little bit cleaner than casting 
TObject to a number.

We needed "xtConstOrdSmallInt", "xtConstOrdShortInt", 
"xtConstOrdInteger/xtConstOrdLongInt" and "xtConstOrdInt64" for it (e.g. 
500 would return xtConstOrdShortInt). It looks like an overkill for me, 
so let's keep the limitation for now with the knowledge that if the need 
arises, we could extend it.

The question was a little bit confusing :) Yes, adding IDE options with 
default types for Integer+Real+String constants looks very useful to me. 
Boolean isn't needed, IMO, but maybe it should be added as well for the 
sake of completeness.
