Well, kind-of... I don't know if C# also supports this (like Java). It
probably does, because for the last few years, Delphi has just been
copying whatever is in C#. [sad]
eg: This compiles and works in Delphi XE3.
ShowMessage('Hello World!'.ToUpper);
And there are lots more string functions (like .ToUpper) out of the box.

It actually uses record helpers, but the end result looks very much like
Java primitive types where you have <type>.ToString, <type>.Equals,
<type>.Split etc...
Interesting.
