IIRC Turbo Pascal only allowed you to access s[0] when range checking
was off, and similarly for s[i] with i > Length(s).
No. See transcript:

s1 : String;
Can someone confirm what range checking FreePascal does (if enabled)
when indexing a string. I imagine shortstrings and ansistrings are
handled differently, but cannot find this in the documentation.
It looks like the following:
String Type Range Checked for s[i]
