1. Later sring and numeric consts will be split between 2 parent nodes.
2. LCLStrConsts and LazarusIDEStrConsts unit uses resourcestrings and 
therefore this is default way to translate strings.

And about WriteLn, Write - usually we are using them in IDE for debug 
purposes only. But I agree that they should not be present in this list 
by default.

On the other handle, this list is adjustable so just feel your own list 
with desired functions :)
