I am aware of this one.

This is fixed since some time but not yet pushed.

I will push this change together with many others later today.

I'm busy fixing pas2js resolver failures :-)

All packages compile using unicode meanwhile, json/xml work fine, 
pas2js for the most part as well, just the resolver needs some work. 
Down to 3 errors in the testsuite. Coming from over 2000 failures initially :/
