Objection duly noted.
Yes, 'Unicode RTL' sounds very bad. Before it was Unicode too. So,
"UTF16 RTL", "WideChar RTL" or so.
The "Unicode" refers to String = UnicodeString.
The latter has been in use for what, 15-20 years ?
...wrong for 20 years.
The name is chosen to remain consistent with existing terminology.
It seems, it was chosen because it is easier to pronounce than UTF16 RTL.
Naming something Unicode without adding any new Unicode feature can
hardly be called consistent.
Assuming you guys are consistent, I guess you people are also not
comfortable with the term 'UnicodeString' ?
Of course not.
Working with FPC must be a really annoying experience then...
