[fpc-devel] Copy function and dynamic array

Second that, In lack of a explicit "copy-to-end" RTL function I have
always used Copy(S, <SomePos>, MaxInt) in Delphi to copy to the end of
a string. I find it easier to write, more self-explanatory and perhaps
faster to execute (minus a string length fetching and a subtraction)
than writing Length(S) - <SomePos>, especially if <SomePos> is an
expression.
