Well, there is no problem. It was the first time I was looking at the
internals in string parameters. I was just surprised to see how it
actually works. My "problem" was that I didn't know WHY it is done this
way. I was just guessing. Probably you're right, it could be for
optimization and/or performance issues. Well - optimization: does TP
optimize code? IIRC I have read somewhere that TP does almost no
optimization at all :-)
