In our previous episode, Sven Barth said:
the utf* designates the type of the default string type. And the same for
unix. Maybe win32-ansi too.
Ok... that you want multiple distributions per platform is clear now.
But you would not oppose (in the case of having multiple distributions)
a feature like Felipe suggested, do I understand that correctl?
Oh sure. If you read the text, my proposal already assumes it. But base it
on $H. {$H ansi/utf8/utf16} is good enough.
I thought so, but wanted to be sure.
The difference is more that I don't think it will solve as much as people
think, and using this to stitch together code from different origins will
fail miserably or be unworkable.
For non-inheritance-related code that is encoding-agnostic this should
be not that much of a big problem, because the compiler will add
conversions then. The problametic parts - as you yourself metioned -
will be inheritance (when you need to "guess" the correct string for
your override to work) and - I assume - loading and saving of resources
(DFM/LFM).

Sven
