I think it should. Much less confusing, probably more portable and in
Extended Pascal #0 is not recognized, so means a few characters more typing
pain.

Another solution, whith less performance impact would be to always add a
chr(0) to a string constant at compile time. I think I favor this approach.
The length returned should be the length minus chr(0) but the chr(0) should
be there.
