In so far it's essential to mention the *differences*, where Lazarus
works and has to be used differently from Delphi. Now that Delphi uses
Unicode strings, it's important to explain the Lazarus string types and
encodings. How to store Unicode, what's the purpose of UTF8ToAnsi,
UTF8ToSys etc.
A newbie cannot know which are Lazarus and which are FPC issues, so
*both* should be covered in *one* place (links may go into existing FPC
pages, of course).
