Yes. I especially adjusted the compiler to handle this correctly (in light
of floating point constants). Sidenote: the compiler also supports floating
point numbers with an without "e" to have type helper method calls.
"True" and "False" as well by the way.
Best take a look at the tests we have (tests/test/tthlp*.pp), especially
tthlp4.pp which deals with constants. The follow up tests also deal with
the different String types combined with mode switches.

Oh and there are also class methods that can be called on both the values
as well as the type names, just like on classes and records (don't know
whether the CodeTools support these for helpers yet).

Sven
