Yes.

As it happens, I am preparing the documentation for 2.6.4, and I checked: the bug is fixed.
So the bug should be fixed on the website one of the next days.

Now, I realize that the strings issue is rather messy, Delphi
engineers really messed it up.

Following your message, I looked up Delphi's docus:

http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/Libraries/XE5/en/System.SysUtils.FindFirst

No mention of encoding either.

I am looking for a way to make sure that when the unicode version is made,
the documentation will make clear what 'string' means if it appears somewhere 
in a declaration.

You can help by making suggestions. Anything that does not require me going over all 
functions that require string arguments is good :)

Michael.
