These units consist of important low-level functions missing in FreePascal. For example:
- Various array functions (add, delete, search, prealloc, ...)
- Various string functions (pchar/ansistring, compare, split, search, convert html entities, ...)
- Various date/time parsing/formatting functions, supporting years before 0 and after 65535, and timezones
- Mathematical functions (gcd, primes, Bernoulli statistics, prime/euler-phi sieve...)
- Stable sorting function for arbitrary sized data arrays (merge+insert sort)
- Automatical translation of with tr['marked strings'] and components
- A Pascal template language which is "compiled" to Pascal (similar to the C preprocessor)
