Description

The Delphi library has limited support for ToString(), i.e. printing structured Thrift data into some textual form. Where it currently falls short is two places:

a) enum types are always rendered in their numeric representation

b) list<>,  map<> and set<> are shown only in their most generic form (i.e. the underlying classname of the container) which is less useful either.
