The Delphi behavior sounds not very obvious :(.
I guess it's because C-arrays are also always 0-based (and in C a char
array is the closest thing there is to a string). But yes, it also
cost me quite a bit of testing before I finally figured out the rules.
Is this true as well for arrays of char as for arrays of byte ?
You cannot compare an array of byte with another array using the
regular comparison operators, afaik.
