  * In section "Usage", "For string literals to work the source files
    must have UTF-8 encoding." - Add: "This is the default for source
    files written by Lazarus" - Otherwise people will begin to
    unnecessarily add these "$codepage utf8" directives.
  * In section "CodePoint functions for encoding agnostic code" I am
    missing information on how "ch" is to be declared (in my test:
    ch:char and ch:string are working; ch:widechar does not).
  * Good that the new page appears also in place of the old "Better
    Unicode Support..." page
