See earlier mail. Tiburon code shouldn't need mods. That will make sharing
projects with Delphi too difficult. (and make FPC look cumbersome).

Note that while I don't like the polymorphic string, it doesn't have to kill
that, just in some compiler mode (possibly Tib compat) it should be possible
to control the encoding that goes into routine. IOW if a module is declared
in this mode, the compiler will call the force routine before the call or in
the routine.
