I kept the name TMaskUTF8 after all and inherited TMask from it. It helps synchronise changes between our versions, among other things. Now I need instructions or a piece of code into TMask constructor to make it ~ backwards compatible. Later we can see if the advanced features can be used. I will look at the case-insensitive match of Unicode next... Anyway, revisiting code I've found a bug in the escape character in char > groups, which simply are ignored.

Earlier I made other changes. I renamed UTF8Length to UTF8CodepointSizeFast. LazUTF8 has that function for the purpose (and UTF8CodepointSize). Then I used the LazUTF8 version. UTF8Length in LazUTF8 means the number of codepoints in a whole string. I also changed PByte to PChar because of that function change. It seems to compile everywhere. An exception from "[!]" mask would be good, yes. It is clearly an error from a user. The current TMask also complains about it. Juha
