Get the compiler to decently support Unicode. At least the public
can then build on that however they want. The FPC RTL can then later
be mangled to be a delphi clone - or leave it to other projects to
implement there own RTL's.
At the moment the Delphi-compatibility arguments is holding FPC back
in the stone ages.
Stop with the drama already, seriously. The Delphi-compatibility
arguments are not about the compiler, but about the RTL/FCL. The
compiler already fully supports unicode, except for resourcestrings.
That has nothing to do with Delphi compatibility or not, but is simply
a matter of nobody caring enough to implement it. The bug report
requesting such support already dates from 2005:
