That is already the case with mode delphiunicode. But the big problem are
classes and their inheritance. Take TStringList for example. Let's assume
it's declared with String=AnsiString and you override it in a unit with
String=UnicodeString then you'll get problems with overloads/overrides,
because UnicodeString <> AnsiString.

The mode concept is all good and well, but here it breaks down... :(
