Anyway, regarless of what solution we choose to support Unicode, we need a type for interfacing to C. If we think that the type is only for interfacing, then name like 'WcharInt' (and making it an integer type) make sense.
If it is *only* for interfacing, I'd even suggest something like `CWCharT' or `CWideChar', to make that clear, just like we have `CString', `CInteger' (in the next release) etc.
But if we foresee to use it in Pascal later, I'd rather use a more readable name instead. Perhaps just `WideChar' (but what does "wide" mean, isn't an "m" wider than an "i"? ;-).
I believe that, in Delphi, "WideChar" is the term used for Unicode string types.
