So, what kind of support could be implemented in Free Pascal to
improve things for Lazarus and it´s users?
Maybe a real UTF8String?
There will be a real UTF8string, i.e. ansistring with UTF-8 encoding
as part of type information, this will help Lazarus users to get rid
of the utf8encode/utf8decode.
" ansistring with UTF-8 encoding as part of type information"
This sounds like a dynamic solution? As in the info that it is UTF8
encoded is part of the data, not of the type? Or do I misunderstand?
IMHO UTF8String should be like widestring. The encoding/decoding related
parts are decided at compile time; not at runtime.
