The most wanted feature is "Unicode string support".
What Hans-Peter meant is that even if he does implement Unicode String
support, that would require changes in the compiler. Florian apparently
doesn't like any changes to the compiler,
When did I say this? What I said was: I won't merge changes into trunk
which implement support for alternative parsers (this is the topic of
this thread!) because nobody could explain me yet the use of alternative
parsers for FPC users. So I would spend time in something with no gain
for users resulting in even less time for other problems. Maybe somebody
else will merge it, but he takes the burden to fix any regressions and
maintain the changed code.
To be honest (as someone who hasn't yet posted to this topic): You
sounded very much like "we don't want to merge this" with "we" as in
"the core devs". It wasn't really clear (at least to me and maybe some
others as well) that you only spoke for yourself.
And regarding Graeme's comment about Unicode String support: I believe
that was meant in a sarcastic way.
Regards,
Sven
