and back with

What happened to the idea of dynamical encoding ? And why utf-16 ? Unix
uses UTF-8 by default, which means that a conversion must be done each
time you interface to the OS ?
I assume this means Tiburon UTF-8 extension to ansistring follows on this
change.
So then you can (hopefully) pretty much do
{$ifdef unix} // in reality it is more complicated than ifdef unix, but for
now..
TNativeString = type ansistring (CP_UTF8);
{$else}
TNativeString = type TUnicodeString;
{$endif}
And use TNativeString for encoding agnostic purposes.
Well, really agnostic code should simply use "string" :)
