[fpc-pascal] String type compatibility

[Xiangrong Fang]

Hi,

In the following program:

program worksheet;
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
type
  TWorksheet = packed object
  private
    FProp: string[5];
    //FProp: Integer;
  public
    property Prop: ShortString read FProp;
    //property Prop: Integer read FProp;
  end;
begin
end.

I got an error while compile:

worksheet.lpr(9,42) Error: Incompatible types: got "TWorksheet.ShortString"
expected "ShortString"

I wonder who defined "TWorksheet.ShortString"? Why string[5] is not
compatible with ShortString?

Thanks!
