Introducing yet another compiler mode also doesn't seem like the way to
go. FPC is already complex enough. The String type simply needs to
evolve to Unicode support, just like it did from ShortString to
LongString. A natural evolution. This should probably be something
included in both ObjFPC and Delphi compiler modes, but again, I only
every work with ObjFPC mode.
PLEASE don't do this. I don't need Unicode support, and I DON'T want to
have to worry about its complexities. Just leave a compiler mode or
switch that lets me keep "string" as LongString and I will be happy,
whatever happens with unicode. And, as far as I understand, you can
still set string = shortstring with a compiler switch, so leaving a
compiler switch for unicode strings would be "just like it did from
ShortString to LongString".
cheers,
