LOL! First you say we can't use utf-8 strings because we need to introduce pos_utf8 etc., but then you propose to introduce a crippled string type which is not standards compliant, cannot represent all asian charsets and cannot be implemented well on anything non-win32 *and* you propose to introduce procedures for this new string type after all :-D. Where's the logic in that? I think it's better to keep with the ansistring which either has specific charset ISO-8859-X (so the programmer uses regular Pos), or has UTF-8 and programmer uses AnsiPos etc. TStringList can then simply keep using ansistrings.
