The compiler can already parse UTF-8 files with strings and comments being
real UTF-8 texts which can be seen as such inside an editor. AFAIK it can
even handle UTF-16 files (though I'm not entirely sure about this). What it
however does definitely not allow (and none of the current devs wants to
work on this) is support for non-Unicode identifiers as newer Delphi
versions support.
