IMO, I wouldn't support wide-character (UnicodeString) strings for anything
new.
In the beginning the wide-character string had the advantage of being able
to represent
all characters with 2 bytes, but this is no longer the case. I would switch
to UTF-8
instead and keep characters 1 byte long.

OK, so once again it is proven that Unicode is just not sexy enough
for the core team, so it will stay stagnant for a few more years.
No. Simply getting older.

I would guess short/ansistrings, since pascal identifiers must be a subset
of ASCII anyway.
Not Delphi 2009+ btw, which allow UTF8 identifiers.

I must say, it is actually quite fun to be a part of the FPC
