This is one area where FPC could actually improve things.
The 1 byte limit is purely historical. There are no 8-bit CPUs
supported by FPC that would justify it.

I am annoyed by some LCL bugs which are there only for Delphi compatibility.
This issue is similar. This kind of artificial limitation could easily be fixed.
I think it should apply for {$mode objfpc} only.
