I have. It works fine, because of course it does.

Everything he was talking about was clearly based on fundamentally not
understanding the basic differences between things like "const SomeString:
String = " and "var SomeString: AnsiString = ", and assuming that they were
somehow *supposed* to be affected the same way by {$H+}, and so on.

Sorry for getting a bit frustrated everyone, but it's annoying to have this
long back and forth discussion about a vague "problem" that simply does not
exist.
