FPC 3.0 Introduces a new $mode : DelphiUnicode, which assumes string = UnicodeString. I'm trying to use this mode and I can't find where RTL string functions for this mode are located. For example, strutil.pas has only variants for string = ShortString and string = AnsiString. As an example such a simple program won't compile:

program Project1;
{$mode DelphiUnicode}
uses
  strutils;
var
  S : string;
begin
  Copy2SymbDel(S,' ');
end.

The RTL has not yet been adapted for this syntax mode, we only have the compiler, i.e. syntax, support right now. The only RTL support for Unicode-based programs we added is documented at
http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.0#Multiple_codepage_and_unicode_support_for_most_file-related_RTL_routines

I've now explicitly documented the limitations of the new syntax mode at http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.0#New_delphiunicode_syntax_mode
