Well, you could just enable range checking locally. Something like this:

{$R+}
NextVal := Succ(CurrentVal);
{$R-}

There are known bugs regarding range checking and overflow checking with
the compiler-magic functions like Inc and Succ, though. As I recall,
they don't generate errors quite as consistently as conventional
arithmetic operations do.
