BButils

These units consist of important low-level functions missing in FreePascal. For example:

• String and array view for efficient processing of slices of a string or array.
• Various array functions (add, delete, search, prealloc, ...) and array lists.
• Various string functions (pchar/ansistring, compare, split, search, convert html entities, ...). string builder for fast construction of strings.
• Various date/time parsing/formatting functions, supporting years before 0 and after 65535, and timezones
• Mathematical functions (gcd, primes, Bernoulli statistics, prime/euler-phi sieve...)
• Stable sorting function for arbitrary sized data arrays
• Automatical translation of with tr['marked strings'] and components
• A Pascal template language which is "compiled" to Pascal (similar to the C preprocessor)
