But if you use a function from a (Free Pascal or Lazarus) library it is not
clear which kind of encoding this function expects. As I already mentioned,
for example CopyFile (from LCL) and FindFirst (from SysUtils) have no hint
in their documentation on what encoding is expected. I know, somewhere it
says that library x has enconding y but why wasn't this information written
to the documentation for the indiviudal functions?
It would be a huge duplication of documentation to write in every
single Lazarus function that uses string that it expects UTF-8.
It would be much easier to use an TFileName string type instead, for
self-documenting declarations.
