Recursion via Pascal

Porting stuff from Pascal is prone to off-by-one errors due to 1-based arrays.

As already mentioned, that's not correct. You can declare arrays with any indexing/bounds that you want:

MyArray: array[1..10] of Byte;

or if you want something that can be used as a buffer:

MyCharArray: array[0..19] of Char;

StrCopy(@MyCharArray,'Hello World'); // array acting like a 0-indexed Char buffer

Arrays can have any base in pascal including zero.

Do you mean strings?
