How do I check or change which set elements are present, using RTTI? I want to be able to check, add and remove T:TElements from ST:TElementSet.

type
  TElements = (elA, elB, elC);
  TElementSet = set of TElements;

  TMyClass = class
    property SetValue:ST;
  end;

Generics doesn't enable me to tell the compiler that T is an enumerated type and that ST is a set of T.

RTTI enables me to identify the types as tkEnumeration and tkSet - but I am unsure if I can make a strict connection between the two using RTTI. That doesn't really matter as I only need to twiddle the set bits by ordinal value.

The question is: Can I do this safely, using Generics and RTTI, and if so - how?

Examples and/or references to prior art would be appreciated.
