Object Pascal is a beautiful
language because it does type handling for you - like your example of
'+' for Integer or String types. In the same way I would hope that
FPC can handle the String type seamlessly for UTF-16 or UTF-8 -
whichever encoding the FPC developers decide String type should be.
I feel that this _is_ possible without bad effects to FPC's / Lazarus'
multi-platform paradigm (see the other mail in this thread). But of
course it's a lot of work to make it happen ;).
