Re: [SMW-devel] Creating a real Enumeration

[Yaron K. <ya...@gm...>]

An "InsensitiveString" type might not be a bad idea; it would also work to
have a new special property like "Is case-insensitive" for such an
enumerated property.

As for allowing aliases, how would you implement them in terms of
properties? I too think aliases would be great to see, but I can't think of
any way they could be implemented - I don't think special properties that
are also compound are allowed, for instance.
