It's not "my" intend to use it. I'll never use it as I do know that it
is bound to create problems. But it is what generations of pascal
programmers are trained to do. They all need to be re-trained. In fact
this is just "Syntax-Candy" (as here native Array-syntax is used for a
non-array type). So it could be removed or modified to better support
the expectation of the "generations of pascal programmers" even in times
of Unicode.
How is that 'Öse' entered into the system.
I was assuming a current Lazarus version as an IDE and here UTF-8 is
used. (older Lazarus versions in fact did use locale ANSI code, thus
supporting the "generations of pascal programmers")
