There are such units: strutils, math, dateutils. I think there is room for a few more: fileutils (file/disk related), osutils (getting os-specific data, versions and the like) classutils: additional functionality on top of the classes unit. Feel free to make proposals. I guess the main problem will be the interface and error reporting: each has his own way of doing things, which others do not like or would do differently...
