But why does it then not find it?

I found a bugtracker entry here:
https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=8536

And it says it was solved by Zeljan Rikalo on 2017-10-17

Is it not (yet) part of the Lazarus/FPC release?
I am using Lazarus 1.8.4 bundled with FPC 3.0.4 (svn rev 57972) (win32
version) on Windows7 X64

Now I have found a problem in another unit too, in this case it cannot
find the StartsText function in StrUtils. Is this another slight
incompatibility between Delphi and Lazarus?
