Yes, but you didn't name it "UnicodeString RTL", you named it "Unicode 
RTL". You can't blame CodeGear for that choice.

The new RTL has dotted units, so "Namespaced RTL" or "Dotted RTL" would 
fit too - also no catchy.

If you want something catchy, don't use a descriptive name.

Since the cheetah is a dotted (spotted) animal and it is the fpc mascot, 
maybe Cheetah RTL?
