[fpc-pascal] String error on Windows

[Alexander Grotewohl]

Because += is a mistake and hopefully it's irreparably broken.

Does using just s:=s+';'; work?

Why isn't this syntax valid on Windows? Very confused.

============================

{$mode objfpc}

program WindowsTest;

var
s: String;
begin
s += ';';    //  Syntax error, ";" expected but "const char" found
end.
