Please excuse one of my regular silly questions. Elsewhere, a (former)

Can FPC be told to obfuscate ResourceStrings?
No. The default value for resourcestrings is stored as-is in the binary.
To solve this, I store the username/password encrypted in the binary as
consts, and they are decrypted when needed.
Sometimes it's difficult to avoid having to do that sort of thing, or
obfuscating them in an external file.
