I am not sure about this, (I do not know if the latest production 
version has this) but I think you can (could) undefine unicode.
I propose FPC follows a similar strategy.
We already did it for Kol, which has a (almost) totally opaque 
KOLstring/char type depending on switching on UNICODE_CTRLS or ANSI.
(And we had that switch some  time before FPC)
