I propose to let the compiler observe the BOM.
But I don't think more is needed.
FPC observes the BOM. Same as Delphi.
Then what is still the problem ?
I wonder if it would help if FPC would store UTF-8 string literals as
UTF-8 and how much work that is.
Amount of work is probably not so much.
The question is whether it will cause problems for e.g. the JVM code
generator.
But I still fail to see the actual problem, aside from a lot of confusion by
users.
Confusion arises from a lack of clear information.
So in my opinion, we simply need to provide clear information, before we
start changing things.
