I guess this is good time to ask, how would the community feel about
setting a new standard for Free Pascal units going forward? I am
thinking that since FPC 3.0 is now official we don't really have a good
excuse to start using many of the great new language features it brings,
such as dotted name spaces, type helpers on intrinsic types, and of
course the now good working generics.

I would propose we start migrating new units to this type of standard:

unit Core.Text;
What is the difference from CoreText or (not my choice) Core_Text?
Can I do this
uses
  Core.Text;

instead of

uses
  Core.Text.Parser, Core.Text.XML, Core.Text.json, Core.Text.UTF8;

IF not then I'm against using dots in filenames, there is no value in dots when camel case does the same job with less typing.

as we are on the theme of "not do" also consider removing the fp prefix from all rtl functions and through away the ridiculous use of inc file instead of pas.
