It would be nice if {$mode objfpc} makes {$H+} automatic...
It has been considered once, but I can't remember why it was
not put in effect, there was some reason, but I don't recall why :(
Maybe because existing code assume strings in objfpc are shortstrings.
If this were to change, that code might break.
program test;
{$mode objfpc}
var
s: string;
begin
s:='test';
writeln(length(s)); // resilient to string type change
writeln(ord(s[0])); // this breaks, I think.
end.
