I guess, FPC will support the new string type and create some compiler directives/flags to control the default string/char type, won't it? And it will use the widestring manager to auto convert these types, won't it? So FPC will be able compile the new Delphi code, although the code will run slower and there will conversion errors on non ansi characters.
