JediCF - widestring vs unicodestring

Hi,
Small addition. In my large project I'm working on I found the
following: in one place I specifically have to work with a widestring
or unicodestring. I chose to use the latter because it is reference
counted (and use UTF8ToUTF16 to convert string to the unicodestring).
In the previous version of JCF I don't think this gave an error.

Now I get:
with string defined as:
s: unicodestring;
I get error:
Error: Exception TEParseError  Unexpected token, expected "ANSISTRING
WIDESTRING" Near UNICODESTRING

when I define the string as:
s: WideString;
-no error.

For now I just switched to widestring as workaround.

Does this error sound logical? Maybe unicodestring is not known in
JCF?

Greetings,
Leo
