I agree... When I think Unicode support I think the following should
be valid and handled correctly:

var
  s: string;
begin
   s := 'hallo äöü';
   Edit1.Caption := 'hallo äöü';
   Edit2.Caption := s;
   ....
end;


Surely this is allowed and works correctly under D2009, otherwise I
really misunderstood Unicode support in D2009.
