unicodestring = java.lang.String. The reason this was the default in
the past is that this was the first string type that was implemented,
and without it being the default most code involving string operations
would fail. Now the default strings types are the same as for other
targets
+ new {$modeswitch unicodestrings} directive, that when activated
*together* with {$h+},
1) changes char into an alias for widechar
2) changes string into an alias for unicodestring
3) changes the preferred string evaluation type (in case of uncertainty)
to unicodestring
{$modeswitch unicodestrings} with {$h-} does not change anything at all
regarding the string type (it still changes the char type)
+ new uuchar unit that redefines char as widechar, and which is automatically
included by the compiler if {$modeswitch unicodestrings} is enabled

o primitive types are first boxed
o the parameter is passed inside an array of one class instance
o changing the parameter inside the routine (by assigning a value to it
like in Delphi.NET and different from regular Pascal code) will replace
this class instance (again boxing the value if required)
o on return, the class instance is extracted, unboxed if required, and
assigned back to the original location
o formal const parameters are handled without the extra array indirection,
since they cannot be changed
TODO: while writing tjvmcallparanode.handleformalcopyoutpara() I forgot that
calling getcopy on ttemprefnodes whose ttempcreatenode hasn't been copied
yet works fine, so that code is more complex than needed. Still have to
fix.

JDK class-style enums rather than plain ordinals like in Pascal
o for Pascal code, nothing changes, except that for the JVM target
you can always typecast any enum into a class instance (to interface
with the JDK)
o to Java programs, FPC enums look exactly like Java enum types

in a single statement, to be added later)
o the unicodestrings are internally simply java.lang.String instances
o at the language level, the unicodestrings are assignment-compatible
with java.lang.String
o constant strings can be implicitly converted to java.lang.String
o since java.lang.String is immutable, in particular changing a
single character in a string is extremely inefficient. This could
be solved by letting unicodestring map to java.lang.StringBuilder,
but that would make integration with plain Java code harder

- extend tok2node array to store inline function number for the case when nodetype = inlinen, add Inc, Dec operators to array
- implement inline function support in isunaryoverloaded
- check for operator overload if Inc, Dec is not used for standard types
- extend test to check Inc,Dec operators

they are constants (instead of only on 32 bit systems), and always use the

that was set during the typecheck pass because typeconversion nodes
may have been optimised away previously and sometimes the resultdef is

pointer, because that will force "value" to become unsigned, which
result in errors in case of negative 64bit constants in case they
are multiplied by the size of the pointed type in ncginl (the
tconstexprint type operators have to handle positive and
negative numbers differently) (mantis #17342)

- add own symbol table for enumeration to store enumeration elements
- reimplement enumeration member traverse using symbol table instead of firstenum/nextenum - that members are removed
- implement TEnum.Element access syntax - element is searched in the enumeration symtable in this case instead of global/local symtables
- implement {$SCOPEDENUM ON/OFF} local switch
+ tests

Objective-C methods or which are fields of Objective-C classes (since they
are basically opaque to the Objective-C runtime) + fixed tobjc11 so it
expects classes to be encoded as opaque types
* give a proper error message when using illegal field/parameter types in
Objective-C classes/methods instead of an internal error (only checked
during rtti generation rather than during parsing, because during parsing
some types may still be forwarddefs)
* split objcutil in objcdef and objcutil, with objcdef depending only on
the symtable so it can be used in symdef
